Here’s a PDF of the latest AfPE Covid19 update here released on 5th November.

In a Q&A Twitter post, Mr Oliver Dowden (Cultural Secretary) said kids’ grassroots football “will be permitted in school settings.”

But he added: “Unfortunately we need to pause grassroots sport outside school to reduce the transmission risk from households mixing. As soon as we can resume this, we will.”

Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick said the Government was “prioritising schools and activities in the school setting” including football.

Speaking to BBC Radio 4, he said: “We have made a real national priority to keep schools open.

“You can continue doing the usual activities you do during a school day – school sport and other activities”

He said extra curricular activities such as football could continue but Mr Jenrick warned there are “risks in encourage people to mix” with people from other households.
