A HEALTH organisation is urging the Dorset public to 'plan ahead' in relation to visiting pubs and bars to watch the knock-out stages of Euro 2020.

Dorset HealthCare provides mental health services and many physical health services in Dorset and have asked the public to check the latest guidance before meeting others in order to stop the spread of Covid-19 during the pandemic.

The public notice comes after England qualified for the last 16 stage of this summer's tournament, with crowds expected to gather at social hotspots across the county for the nation's next game on June 29.

A spokesman from Dorset HealthCare, said: "England are through to the knockout stages

"Remember, we all want to enjoy Euro 2020 safely. So remember to plan ahead, check the latest guidance and enjoy the tournament responsibly."

The guidance includes to meet outside rather than inside where possible; keep two metres apart from people that you do not live with - unless you have formed a support bubble with them, and minimise travel in and out of affected areas.
