answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/11/2020 answer text <p>Evidence is clear that action is needed on a national scale to suppress the spread of the virus. We have introduced national restrictions to reduce social contact across England. This includes the closure of most businesses and venues, except for essential retail. It is therefore necessary for sports facilities, such as golf courses, to close. Whilst these facilities are closed, it remains important for wellbeing to be able to exercise and enjoy outdoor recreation safely, and that is why individuals can continue to do this in public outdoor places under the new restrictions. However, people are advised to remain as local as possible, to act responsibly, and limit transmission risk wherever possible, including by ensuring social distancing with anyone they do not live with.</p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 12/11/2020 13:23:27 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries previous answer version 59953 answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries
