UK roadmap for return of grassroots sports

Sport is back – government’s roadmap paves way for return of grassroots sports and the opening of indoor and outdoor venues

The government has now published its reopening roadmap, laying out the plans for the return of sport in England, following the third lockdown. The plan we will be guided by data, not dates, so that a surge in infections is risked that would put unsustainable pressure on the NHS. For that reason, all the dates in the roadmap are indicative and subject to change. There will be a minimum of five weeks between each step: four weeks for the scientific data to reflect the changes in restrictions and to be analysed; followed by one week’s advance notice of the restrictions that will be eased.
