Meanwhile, organisers of the Masters golf have confirmed no spectators will be allowed at the Augusta National course this year.

The major event was due to take place in April, but has been postponed until November because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Augusta chairman Fred Ridley says the potential risks of allowing fans to attend are “too significant”.
