Doesn't matter how much you sanitize. One of you could be infected with zero symptoms and spread it to anyone they train with. It only takes one person to infect one million.

Don't train in small groups, don't do privates, don't roll "as friends". Do. Not. Train. It is incredibly irresponsible. We all gotta do our duty here.

We closed our academy about a month ago when the first case was confirmed here on the island. Taking zero chances.

fair point. im just getting the cabin fever if yah feel me.

edited OP to reflect the main point of the post. just updates on what the executive orders and such say.

10 to 12 weeks is the current estimate per the Secretary of the Treasury. Solo drills. Don't train, even small groups. It sucks, but it's the right thing to do.

This is going to take a long time. Better find something else to do than Jiu Jitsu, sorry :)

that it is unfortunately..

@christian: theres only so much time i can spend on video games and playing guitar before i start missing grappling again! :P but itll have to do lol!

As of midday today Australia is shut

Yeah, we've been closed in Delaware for about a week now and it's indefinite. Governor's orders.

We are closed until at least April 6th. I predict we end up being closed past that date :(

We have been closed for more than a week preemptively, but now we could not be open. As of about an hour ago the Governor of Virginia, USA issued a decree closing schools for the remainder of the year and a lot of businesses until 23 April. here is the part that pertains to BJJ gyms:
