Outdoor grassroots sport to resume from December 2
Outdoor grassroots sport will be allowed to resume in England when the national lockdown ends.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed the news in a virtual statement to the House of Commons on Monday afternoon, outlining plans for a relaxation of restrictions from December 2.
Outdoor sport for all ages will be permitted, even in areas most affected by the Government's Covid-19 tier system.
This will include golf courses, tennis courts and football clubs - and gyms will also be able to re-open.
Grassroots and amateur sport has been suspended since November 5.
