Xinhua News Agency, Rome, April 26 with the gradual improvement of Italy’s New Coronavirus epidemic, Italian Prime Minister Kong Te said on the 26th that Italian teams could resume personal training from May 4.
As of 26th, the number of confirmed cases in Italy was close to 200000. The government announced “city closure” in March and banned all sports activities. After that, the measure was extended to May 3. Recently, the situation in Italy has continued to improve. Kong Te said on the 26th that he would gradually “unbind” the ban from 4th day of next month, when Serie A players can conduct personal training.
According to the plan, from May 4th, the clubs of Serie A can arrange players for individual training or group training, and from 18th, the teams can resume group training and prepare for Serie A rematch. During this period, all teams will strictly abide by the epidemic prevention regulations, such as conducting the new coronavirus test on schedule.
But Italian sports minister Spadafora also said that although he gradually resumed training, he was not sure when he could restart Serie A. He said: “Of course we don’t want to postpone the start time, but the competition can only be held under the condition of ensuring the safety of athletes. The Italian Football Association has submitted a epidemic prevention code, but this is not perfect and still needs to be modified.”
