ROME - The Serie A has planned to resume the league on June 13
in accordance with the safety measures set by the Italian government
to contain the coronavirus.
The 20 top-flight clubs on Wednesday indicated the date while Sports
Minister Vincenzo Spadafora announced that the domestic federation
(FIGC) had agreed to adopt a protocol from the government's
scientific panel to begin team training on Monday.
Individual workouts at teams' camps had been allowed on May 4 as the
government began a gradual lifting of a two-month nationwide
lockdown.
Meetings between the experts' panel and football representatives have
led to a protocol that will see teams train in retreat at their
camps, with frequent test programmed for footballers and staff.
The Serie A was halted on March 9 with 12 rounds remaining.
A final decision on its restart is to come from the government,
which, Spadafora said, in the next weeks will monitor infection rates
in the country.
