As Harlequins FC prepare to welcome back crowds to Twickenham Stoop for the new season, the club has reassured Twickenham residents of its new Covid-safety measures.

The Harlequins will return to the Stoop on Saturday September 25 against Worcester Warriors.

The team's first Gallagher Premiership game is at Newcastle on Sunday September 19.

The latest guidance from the government permits the full opening of sports stadiums for supporters, but the Harlequins said they are mindful of the ongoing impact of Covid.

There will be additional cleaning and hand sanitiser stations, and face masks will be advised but not obligatory.

The team has also been trialing a new nasal spray to protect them against Covid, called Viraleze.
