Sports fans will be welcomed back to venues across England on Monday as coronavirus restrictions are eased. Football, greyhound racing, horse racing, rugby league and rugby union will be among the sports to open their doors to fans as the third step of the Government’s coronavirus recovery road map is implemented. Larger seated outdoor venues will be able to admit up to 10,000 spectators. Smaller outdoor venues capacities will be capped at 4,000 or 50 per cent, whichever is the lowest. Barnsley’s club website has also advised fans “to avoid hugs, ‘high-fives’, handshakes, or other close contact with those not in your social group”.
