The UK government confirmed the easing of Covid-19 containment measures on Wednesday (26th), which also means a change for fans who want to watch Premier League matches. Match of the next round of the competition, ‘Covid passport’ will not be required. Thus, fans will no longer need to submit negative tests to access stadiums, but will continue to take precautions.
Public participation and accountability will be key at this time so that resilience measures can be followed. Each fan will be responsible for following the measures that have already been adopted, such as frequent use of masks, social distancing and hand hygiene. In addition, the statement of the Premier League clubs emphasized the importance of vaccination.

Although negative tests are no longer mandatory for access to stadiums, fans, when in doubt, have been advised to take the test to avoid going into public places with the potential to transmit the virus. Premier League chief executive Richard Masters spoke on the matter.
? Fans have shown great support for the procedures in place and we thank them for helping keep each other safe and the fields open to full capacity. Despite the easing of government restrictions, everyone still has a role to play in ensuring people feel safe at our matches. We and our clubs urge fans to continue to do everything in their power to follow public health guidelines to reduce the risk of transmitting COVID-19. Richard Masters said.
Changes with the government’s flexibility also directly affect the clubs, especially in the matter of postponing matches. Since the end of last year, several Premier League matches have been postponed due to the high number of Covid-19 cases in clubs.
From now on, if the club requests to postpone the match due to insufficient players due to Covid, it must have at least four positive cases in its squad. So this is an update to recent guidelines, which were implemented in December in response to the emergence of the Omicron variant.
