All anti-Covid restrictions lifted by the end of June?
The British government is also considering a
return of supporters to the stadiums
from May 17, if the health situation allows.
In an outdoor stadium, sporting events could accommodate up to a quarter of the stadium's capacity, but no more than 10,000 people.
For indoor sporting events, on the other hand, the gauge may reach half the capacity of the hall, without exceeding 1,000 people.

Faced with the new outbreak of contaminations and the fear of new variants, a new "lockdown" came into force at the beginning of January.
A few weeks later, it seems to have paid off.
