Athletics tracks across Staffordshire can now open once again, as long as they meet social distancing regulations, after the Government released a document outlining which sports in England can begin to get back to action again.
The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) said that the re-opening of the tracks is up to the discretion of the facility and that if they wish to do so, that it is certain that coronavirus safety guidelines can be met.
The document read: “Athletics tracks can re-open, but this is at the discretion of the facility and must be done in a way that adheres to guidance on social distancing.”
This comes after the Government gave the green light for ‘open waterway’ sports to restart once more.
Horse riding can also recommence, with a spokesperson for the DCMS stating: “You can ride a horse, providing that you are alone, with members of your own household or alone with one other person from a different household.
“You should observe social distancing where possible when encountering other riders or the public.
“You are allowed to visit venues like a riding club to exercise. You should only do so alone, with members of your household or with one person from another household as long as you can remain two metres away from them. You should check ahead to ensure that these facilities are open and prepared to receive visitors.”
Additionally, fishing can resume if Government advice is followed, although tackle shops will remained closed.
