This Covid-19 ain’t going away, unfortunately. The number of official cases in Brighton & Hove has tripled in a week, causing the council to raise the alert level to amber – one step short of red alert, the stage at which the Government will declare the city an area of national concern.

Please take care out there, and follow the LTA Guidelines For Tennis Players (below) carefully. Key points from updated LTA guidelines:

• When participating in any tennis activity indoors or outdoors, participants must not mingle in groups of more than six before and after the activity, while maintaining social distancing with those from another household at all times.
• If an organiser is not able to ensure this(including when arriving at or leaving activity or in any breaks or socialising) then such events should not take place. Attendees must avoid social interaction with anyone outside the group they are with, even if they see other people they know, at all times during their visit
• The LTA recommends no more than 12 players on one full-size tennis court and surrounding areas at any one time, in order to ensure social distancing can be maintained
