<p>Non-professional performing arts activities such as choirs are currently permitted
outdoors, within the legal gathering limits. People should only take part in non-professional
performing arts activities outdoors in groups of up to 6 people, or as a group of
2 households. A group made up of 2 households can include more than 6 people, but
only where all members of the group are from the same 2 households (each household
can include an existing support bubble, if eligible). Social distancing should be
maintained between people who do not live together or share a bubble.</p><p><ins class="ministerial">Non-professional
activity indoors is not permitted indoors at this time. The intention is that this
will be permitted from Step 3 of the Roadmap (no earlier than 17 May). This is subject
to review and further guidance will be provided in advance of step 3.</ins></p><p><del
class="ministerial">Rules on outdoor singing for non-professionals will be relaxed
at Step 3 of the roadmap and no earlier than 17 May, in line with the changes to social
contact limits and wider performing arts activity restarting. Amateur singing indoors,
is expected to return at Step 4 of the Roadmap and no earlier than 21 June.</del></p><p>
</p><p>COVID-19 spreads from person to person through small droplets, aerosols and
through direct contact. Singing, playing some musical instruments, shouting and physical
activity increases the risk of transmission through small droplets and aerosols. The
cumulative effect of aerosol transmission means the more people involved, the higher
the risk of transmission. This means that it is currently important to limit the total
number of individuals involved in singing as far as possible.</p><p> </p>
