A report from today’s paper edition of the Milano based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport has explained what training sessions will look like during the ongoing Coronavirus emergency.
The report details how the first step will be to divide the squad into two groups. The first will be all the players who tested positive for the contagion, as well as athletes who have shown or reported symptoms such as a fever, cough, asthenia, dyspnea, myalgia, diarrhea, anosmia and ageusia. The other group will be all the players who have tested negative, untested players who could have been potentially asymptomatic and those who have been in contact with people who have tested positive, such as family members.
Players will be swabbed every four days, the report continues. Players who previously tested positive will have a longer, 15-day recovery compared to their teammates, who will undergo some stress tests. These protocols have all been put in place to ensure the safety of all the players and staff.
