It is our absolute priority to protect people’s health. The Champions League fixture held at Anfield on 11 March 2020 took place in accordance with scientific advice at the time. The Government has no current plans to trace people who attended this match or to commission an independent comparative assessment of the rate of COVID-19 infection in that cohort and their contacts and a control group.
