The ECB has updated it's guidance for the move to Step 4 of the UK Government Road Map which came into effect
on 19 July 2021:
Some of the key changes are listed below, but please read the guidance in full for a complete understanding.
| • | Social distancing (1 m+) rule is removed. |
| • | Group size restrictions indoors and outdoors are removed (including spectator number restrictions) |
| • | Changing rooms can be used, participants should use their own judgement and minimise use where possible to avoid close contact in a crowded area for a prolonged time. |
| • | Hospitality is permitted without restrictions. |
Please note that officials standing in BCL matches will continue to NOT accept players caps, jumpers or any other belongings for the remainder of the season. Please can you communicate this with your captains and players.
This highlights that despite the relaxation of guidance, individuals or clubs may still want to have their own safety measures in place. Please be mindful of this and respect it in all instances. If your club has additional safety measures in place, please communicate this to any visitors to your ground in a timely and clear manner.
