<p>Sports and physical activity are crucial for our mental and physical health. That’s
why we have continued to make sure that people can exercise throughout the national
restrictions and why we have ensured that grassroots and children’s sport is front
of the queue when easing those restrictions.</p><p> </p><p>On Monday 22 February,
the Prime Minister announced a roadmap out of the current lockdown in England. The
government has introduced a step approach to the return of outdoor and indoor sport
areas across England. Each full step of the roadmap will be informed by the latest
available science and data and will be five weeks apart in order to provide time to
assess the data and provide one week’s notice to businesses and individuals.</p><p>
</p><p>National Governing Bodies, including England Boxing, for contact sports have
developed action plans in line with the governments Combat Sport Framework which takes
into account the level of risk of their sport and how they can work to mitigate it
to minimise COVID-19 transmission risk. This has been reviewed by government to ensure
it is consistent with the overarching government guidance.</p><p>At step 2 of the
Roadmap, contact combat sports can resume at phase 2 of the Contact Combat Sports
framework for children and at phase 1 for adults. Outdoors, these sports are exempt
from social gathering limits as they are organised sport. Indoors, adults must only
only take part in individual activity and children can take part in groups of up to
15.</p><p> </p>
