The UK's leading sports bodies are backing the use of 'vaccine passports' and Covid testing as a "credible" means of allowing full capacities at venues.
In a joint letter to the leaders of the major political parties, the group said it could "see the benefit" of a certification process "in getting more fans safely back as quickly as possible". "We know that our stadia can only be fully filled with an assurance process," it added.
"This process must ensure that everyone can access stadia and must include arrangements that would verify a negative Covid test or an antibody test or vaccination certification." However, the group also warned that "the final approach must not be discriminatory, should protect privacy, and have clear exit criteria".

UK sports clubs boost biodiversity by letting nature go wild on their grounds
Across the UK, sports clubs are starting to do their bit for biodiversity, forgoing the urge to cut back and tidy, and allowing nature to take over. Even golf courses, for years dubbed “green deserts” by conservationists, are changing.
