SPECTATORS are set to return to sports venues next month as coronavirus restrictions are eased in areas with lower infection rates.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that outdoor and indoor venues in tier 1 and 2 areas would be allowed to admit spectators on a limited basis, but did not confirm what the capacity limits or percentages would be.
It has been reported that 4,000 spectators or 50 per cent capacity limits – whichever is lowest – would be place in tier 1, dropping to 2,000 or 50 per cent for indoor venues.
In tier 2, it has been reported it would be 2,000 outdoors and 1,000 indoors, or 50 per cent capacity.
Johnson also said outdoor grassroots sports and indoor sports facilities like gyms would be able to reopen.
