In their lead news a report in last week's Classic Car Weekly says "the organisers of the Classic Car Motor Show 2020 at the NEC have vowed it will go ahead with social distancing in place if the UK Government gives it the green light. The event organisers, Clarion Events, say that it is planning to go ahead with the three day indoor show at Birmingham NEC and that it has worked with other event organisers to create an industry wide standard to help minimise the spread of coronavirus. They say they have gone though every stage of a classic fan's show visit to make sure social distancing and hygiene measurers can be carefully followed. Key "green light" factor The CCW report also adds "the UK Government has indicated that the Covid-19 alert level would need to be at Level 2 rather than the current Level 3, brought in ahead of recent lockdown restrictions, before large events are allowed to take place". Covid-19 alert levels in the UK Risk levels are measured by a five-level, colour-coded alert system. The UK Government unveiled the system on 11th May 2020. The prime minister said it would help decide how tough social-distancing measures should be.
