Random COVID checks for Spurs game

West Ham have announced increased matchday covid-19 spot-checks, ahead of their game against Spurs on Sunday.

The Hammers have advised supporters to be ready to provide proof of vaccination or a negative lateral flow test result on matchday.

In a statement, West Ham says The Premier League and clubs shared a common goal to keep supporters as safe as possible during the COVID-19 pandemic. Supporters are advised that spot-checks requiring fans to show their COVID-19 status will be increased for forthcoming games, starting with the visit of Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday (kick-off 2pm).

Supporters aged 18 or over should attend the match only if they either have a valid NHS COVID Pass, can show valid alternative proof that they have been fully vaccinated or have registered a negative COVID test in the previous 48 hours.

There will be heightened visibility of spot-checkers from the Tottenham Hotspur fixture, with all checkers outside the stadium wearing clearly-marked uniforms.

These measures are in place across all Premier League grounds for their health and safety of all supporters and staff. To ensure our supporters feel as prepared as possible prior to coming to London Stadium, we have listed a guide below on which forms of evidence will be accepted when showing your COVID-19 status.
