Answer
The Department does not hold information about covid-19 transmission rates at sports pilot events. However, the sport pilots demonstrated that many risks related to Covid-19 transmission within these events can be mitigated with Covid secure guidance.
We fully understand that fans want to be back watching live sports and other events, and we are continuing to work with the sector on solutions and innovations.
