The British Horseracing Authority has drawn up protocols which will require jockeys and stalls handlers to wear face masks when racing resumes in June.
The 33-page document outlines a series of measures to be employed should racing get the Government go-ahead to return to action for the first time since March.
Completion of an online education module and screening of all participants before they are allowed to attend an event form the initial stage of the protocols, with further health-related questions and temperature checks carried out before people are allowed to enter racecourses.
Social distancing restrictions will be employed, along with facial coverings for those deemed likely to need to breach the two-metre rule, including jockeys, trainers, stalls handlers, stable staff and valets.
