Fans in England will need to show proof of double vaccination against COVID-19 or a negative test to attend top-level sport after British Prime Minister Boris Johnson imposed tougher COVID-19 restrictions in the country on Wednesday.
The British government has made the NHS COVID Pass mandatory for any event with more than 10,000 people in a bid to slow the spread of the Omicron coronavirus variant.
The COVID pass will also be needed for any unseated indoor venue with more than 500 people and any unseated outdoor venue with more than 4,000 people.
The rules, announced as part of the COVID “plan B” measures in England, will come into effect from December 15
