Covid regulations on Saturday. What do I need to know?

[majaco]

I am excited but apprehensive about the King Power on Saturday.

 

I am double vaccinated and coming with my 14 yr old.   

 

What do I need to know about Covid protocols?

[GingerrrFox]

Covid checks were non-existent at Wembley so not sure anyone has a clue what to expect just yet

[MattFox]

There aren’t any

[DerbyshireFox]

Don’t think anything has been announced yet, but at Wembley despite the ‘condition of entry’ being a test or vaccine proof, neither of which were asked for. Nothing is mandated from our intrepid PM currently so I imagine it will be masks advised in the concourse but not required in the seating area of the stadium. Only advice I would give is enjoy yourself but be sensible. Wear a mask if you feel more comfortable doing so and bring/use your sanitiser. Hope you enjoy being back home. It’s great to be able to have our football weekends back 🦊

Don't recall there being anything for the Villarreal match. Some vague signs about wearing face masks but nothing enforced. I did have one slightly awkward moment when I shouted at their GK in a fit of rage and a tiny bit of spittle came out my mouth landed on the neck of the bloke in front. Couldn't decide if the right thing to do was a) apologise b) squirt it with hand sanitiser or c) pretend it hadn't happened. Big bloke to be fair so I went with c.

I wouldn't be bothered. LCFC always say stuff is going to happen then it never does.

 

Also, at Wembley on Saturday, the rules weren't even there. I didn't even need to do a test on Friday

They asked for my result

As someone who has been isolating since March 2020 and visited my first shop/supermarket last week I find this all a bit worrying. I hope I haven't wasted the last 15months only to catch it due to the shambolic instructions/controls of the government, FA, PL and LCFC.

[MonkeyTennis?]

There was a 'please read' webpage and email circulated before the Villareal game, which basically said, wear a mask in the concourse/toilets (some people did and some didn't), and don't bring your own food. I can't imagine it will be any different for the Wolves match.

 

It felt very much back to normal, to be honest. Make of that what you will. 

[Finnegan]

Nothing until September when you may have to prove you're double jabbed to enter gigs, clubs, stadia etc. Unless that's changed in the last few weeks? 

 

[Unabomber]

Doesn’t look like there will be any restrictions. They have left it too late to change anything now.

Rules for thee and not for me since last year. Get out, enjoy the fresh air and your god given freedoms! Crazy locking yourself away for so long.

 

Thankfully we are not a full blown  authoritarian state (yet)😂

I’m sure he had a pretty legit reason for self isolating.

Thanks for the advice, I didn't say I hadn't been out, I've been for plenty of walks but have purposely chosen out of the way places where I was unlikely to come near to people and as @Unabombersaid I have had good reasons to isolate certainly didn't choose it just for the fun of it.

 

Plus It's not easy for me to wear a mask for long periods so I was relatively relaxed about not wearing one in my seat under the impression that people have at least been double vaccinated or tested.

[southfox66]

As it stands there are none but talk of only double jabbed been allowed from October but doubt that will happen. 

[Spudulike]

It is concerning when a third of the under 30's have not even had the first jab. There will be super-spreaders amongst us. 

 

I won't be hanging around in the consourse but not sure of the plan for the half time pee. Not going down during the match.

I would say you were in a tiny percentile that got checked, I didn't see anyone checking at all, you're the first person I've heard say they got asked for anything

[Leicester_Loyal]

If I haven't caught it from the tube after Wembley I'll be very surprised, it was carnage

I think if you wear a mask and get out of the concourse as fast as possible you should be fine. Outside the chances of catching anything are quite minimal. And I think most people respect other peoples choices to wear a mask

hope you enjoy being back

Firstly, i wouldn't let the apprehension ruin your excitement for Saturday, albeit easier said than done. I must have got unlucky at Wembley, i was asked for my proof of vaccination / negative test upon entry, although this wasn't checked against my match ticket.

 

There was no protocol at Villarreal, just gentle reminders to social distance etc.

 

Your biggest risk would be the concourse / toilets and any pre / post pub visits. You should be fine throughout the match itself, just wear your mask in area's you feel at more risk.

 

Most of all, try and enjoy the freedom and match, it will be amazing for you and your kid to get back down the KP.

I’m glad I had covid last month, I assume you can’t get the same variant twice?

It’s extremely unlikely and even less so if you’re also vaccinated.

 

Supposedly reinfection has accounted for 0.5-1% of all cases.
