Do these new rules about 6 people meeting up extend to extra-curricular activities?

It says organised team activities aren't affected - does this extend to martial arts? Dance and gymnastics? Drama clubs? Art group?

There is another thread asking the same question. Basic consensus is that nobody knows.

Has it not been clarified anywhere in the news yet?

I'd suggest you bookmark this page and wait for the next update to be published: www.gov.uk/guidance/meeting-people-from-outside-your-household-from-4-july#history

My understanding is that if the sessions are run by a Covid safe approved organisation then they can continue. For example, baby classes that I attend are expecting to continue due to the guidelines they already had in place to prevent the spread.

Has it not been clarified anywhere in the news yet?

No, guidance is not published yet.

@AlexaShutUp would you mind linking the thread.
I’m also following.
@Apples6544 what’s a ‘Covid safe approved organisation’?
I run a small group, I’ve done a risk assessment and had a number limit approved by the venue but I haven’t seen anywhere where I can get any sort of official approval.

So crap (the communication, I mean). Just had email about Scouts meeting in the park...am guessing that won't be going ahead now...

Erin, I'll try to find it again and post a link.

FWIW, dd's drama group has said on social media that the new rules don't apply because they're an educational setting with covid measures in place, so I guess that might apply to lots of other activities too. Though the guidance may change all of that when it's published!

@ErinBrockovich I’ve seen lots of groups with a ‘Covid secure’ endorsement- guessing from the council or something.

Thank you both.
