Football supporters of Premier League teams won't all be subjected to show their Covid vaccination or test status at matches from when the new season starts on Friday.
When fans returned in limited capacity in mid-May, all attendees were required to show they had either been fully vaccinated or had received a negative lateral flow test in the previous 48 hours, via their NHS Covid pass through the NHS app - this was also the case for spectators attending Euro 2020.
Yet ahead of the first game of the new season - Brentford vs Arsenal on Friday night - the Premier League revealed they will instead conduct random spot-checks of fans' Covid-19 status at some grounds in the opening few weeks.
