Please note, this is only intended as a summary of current guidance. If in doubt, please refer to the relevant government website (links below).

All Covid restrictions ended in England.
All forms of sport and physical activity can still take place with no restrictions, but we recommend you continue to take sensible precautions such as hand sanitising, good hygiene and ventilation.

You no longer need to wear a face covering, but the government suggests you consider wearing one in crowded and indoor spaces where you may come into contact with people you do not normally meet. It is not recommended to wear one while exercising.
