The British government last month set out a four-stage plan for easing England's COVID-19 lockdown restrictions. "These test events will be crucial in finding ways to get fans and audiences back in safely without social distancing," Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said in a statement. ERP will look at risk factors in indoor and outdoor settings, small and large venues, seated and standing events, as well as transport issues and the duration of events. A number of pilot events will include spectators and fans not socially distanced, with their movements and interactions monitored. Spectators will not be allowed into venues unless they have had a negative COVID-19 test beforehand and they will also be tested afterwards.
