Fans attending LFC v Palace strongly recommended to take COVID-19 test

Liverpool City Council's Ground Safety Advisory Group and Public Health Department are strongly recommending supporters who are attending the final game of the season at Anfield to take a lateral flow test prior to the match.

The 10,000 tickets available for the Crystal Palace fixture are being sold via a ballot and the city’s health experts are asking fans to take a test 24 to 36 hours prior to kick-off. Access to COVID-19 tests across the city are being expanded in advance of the game.

Matt Ashton, director of public health at Liverpool City Council, said: “The return of football fans to Anfield for the last home game of the season is a landmark moment in our slow return to normality from the grip of lockdown.
