Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed during a press conference on Wednesday evening that any unseated outdoor venue of more than 5,000 and any venue of over 10,000 – which is every ground in the Premier League and Championship – would need entrants to have a Covid-19 pass, attainable to those who are double vaccinated, or be able to show a negative lateral flow test.
Johnson stated: “Covid passes will become mandatory for nightclubs and venues where large crowds gather in England.
“This will include unseated indoor venues with more than 500 people, unseated outdoor venues with more than 5,000 people and any venue with more than 10,000 people.”
