10 things you can now do in Sheffield after Covid-19 'Rule of Six' and outdoor sports changes

Rules on social contact and outdoor activities were relaxed this week, giving people more freedom to meet up – These are ten things you can do legally under the next step of the Government’s roadmap plan.

The easing of restrictions on Monday (March 29) saw the “stay at home” order come to an end.

Groups of up to six, or two households, can socialise in parks and gardens once more, while outdoor sports facilities can reopen after the stay-at-home order ended on Monday.

Football and cricket pitches, tennis and basketball courts, outdoor swimming pools, golf courses and sailing clubs are now free to reopen after months of being shut.

Organised team sports can also resume outdoors, meaning grassroots competitions can take place ahead of the Easter break without the need for social distancing.

You no longer need an excuse to justify going out, and there is no specific limit on how far you can travel - but the Government is advising people to stay local and urging the public to use their common sense.

These are ten things that people across Sheffield can enjoy doing once again.
