- ‘Great alarm’ at new Covid-19 rules with thousands of jobs at risk
- Golf, tennis and outdoor swimming pools allowed to continue
The government has been given a stark warning that thousands of jobs are at risk in gyms and leisure centres in tier 4 areas if they remain shut until after the Covid-19 vaccine has been rolled out across Britain – a process that could take months.
Sports industry figures reacted with alarm on Sunday morning after hearing the health secretary Matt Hancock suggest that the new tier 4 restrictions would not be lifted any time soon, and that the new variant “will be very difficult to keep it under control until we have the vaccine.”
