A serological examination ensures that the players are not
infected by the coronavirus and
armored concentrations in disinfected sports centers are part of the plan
prepared by the Italian Football
Federation (FIGC) for the return of Serie
A.
The FIGC Medical Commission, made up of elite doctors and
virologists, met this week to reason about the steps to be followed and
gradually return to normal, when it is 40 days since the last Serie A match played.
The Italian Government
ordered confinement until May 3 and according to the latest decree of the
Presidency of the Council of Ministers, athletes will be able to re-train in
sports centers from day 4.
If Italian volleyball, rugby or basketball have already
definitively renounced the 2019-2020 season, soccer, which faces losses that
can touch the billion Euros, is determined to take extreme measures in order to
resume competition and avoid losses millionaires.
Among them, the president of the FIGC, Gabriele Gravina, also considers the extreme hypothesis of
competing only in the center and in the south of the country, without
organizing parties in the northern regions, those most affected by the
coronavirus.
The doctors and virologists who analyzed the country's
medical situation advised resuming football following three phases: first Serie
A, which has superior financial resources and can more easily, respect health
requirements, and then Series B (Second category) and the Series C (Third
category).
The plan foresees to summon all the squads about 72 or 96
hours before to subject players, technicians, managers, press officers and
collaborators to a serological examination that confirms their refusal with
complete certainty.
