Premier League: Plans for fans to return to sporting events in October scrapped

Plans for fans to return to stadiums to watch live sport in England from 1 October will not go ahead, says cabinet office minister Michael Gove.

The plans were placed under review earlier this month after a rise in coronavirus cases, with pilot events restricted to 1,000 people.

The UK’s Covid-19 alert level has moved to 4, meaning transmission is “high or rising exponentially”.

New measures will be set out by Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Tuesday.
