The Wimbledon tournament which would be held from June 28 to July 11 would be allowed to have 100 % capacity of spectators for the finals.
The grass-court Grand Slam tournament would have 50% capacity of spectators at the beginning of the tournament and it would increase to 100% by the end on July 10-11 with the women’s and men’s singles title matches.
The Cultural Secretary Oliver Dowden said, “We want to gather further evidence on how we can open up all big events safely, and for good.”
This move by the British government came into light to ease Covid-19 restrictions.
It is hoped that this move shall lead to crowds showing increased attendance in the upcoming sporting events like the soccer’s European Championship and others.
He further added, “In the next few weeks this means more fans enjoying the Euros and Wimbledon, and some of our biggest cultural and sports events.”
