The health and leisure industry has welcomed the announcement that it is to receive £4.6billion in Government grants. Golf courses and facilities in England must close with immediate effect in line with new UK government Covid-19 guidance and regulations. The Lawn Tennis Association also made a case for its sport to continue, while the British Horseracing Authority confirmed racing would go ahead behind closed doors. Hall said: “The long-term damage could be significant because you are switching so many young people off. I think mentally for many it would be a release to watch games now, especially in full lockdown again, so hopefully we can continue.
