COVID-19 LOCAL RESTRICTIONS BY TIER ESTRICTIONS APPLICABLE FROM 00:01 ON WEDNESDAY 2 DECEMBER 2020

COVID-19 LOCAL RESTRICTIONS IN ENGLAND TENNIS ACTIVITY BY TIER RESTRICTIONS APPLICABLE FROM 00:01 ON WEDNESDAY 2 DECEMBER 2020 KEY POINTS  This grid outlines a summary of the Government restrictions for each tier of restrictions across England and what that means for tennis activity, effective from 00:01 on Wednesday 2 December 2020  Details of which tier each area of the country have been published by the Government and are available here  Where activity is listed as permitted, this may still be subject to additional restrictions and protocols - venues, coaches, players and officials should therefore refer to the LTA's full COVID-19 secure detailed guidance once it is published before undertaking any activity  The same Tier 2 and Tier 3 rules also apply to people from these areas even if they travel to an area in a lower tier  The Government have confirmed that there is an exemption for indoor group tennis activity for disabled people and for under 18s (and also for organised activity for education) and it is safe and appropriate for activity for these groups to continue indoors in both Tier 2 and Tier 3 areas as long as it is done in line with the LTA's COVID-19 Secure guidelines for players, venues, coaches and officials  These exemptions also apply to travel guidelines for Tier 3, so these groups (plus parents/guardians and any necessary workforce) can travel into and out of Tier 3 areas for tennis activity where this is necessary to facilitate participation  [UPDATED] Details have been added to the grid covering adult singles competition indoors in Tier 2, one to one coaching indoors in Tier 3, travel restriction exemptions and floodlight access. There remain some aspects we are awaiting clarification from Government on, as detailed in the grid – this document will be updated in the coming days as soon as confirmation on these aspects is received  [UPDATED] This grid should be viewed in conjunction with the main LTA Coronavirus guidance documents for tennis players, venues, coaches and officials which will be updated and published on the LTA website once the Government has published full details of the restrictions – this will now likely be w/c 30 November.
