Football is officially back in Germany.
In the Bundesliga, one of the organizations suspended due to the coronavirus epidemic, the 2019-20 season will be able to continue from where it left off as of May 15.
According to Reuters, the German federal government, led by Angela Merkel, gave approval for the matches to be played under strict control and without spectators, after the meeting with the heads of state.
In Germany, clubs have been training for some time on the assumption that the season will resume. In the statement made by the association of clubs on Monday, it was stated that 1724 coronavirus tests were carried out in 36 clubs in the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2, while it was noted that the virus was found in 10 people and necessary precautions were taken, including isolation. It is feared that this situation will pose a problem for the continuation of the leagues.
Life is slowly returning to normal in Germany, which has given a better test in the control of the epidemic compared to countries such as Italy and Spain. From May 11, department stores and shopping centers are allowed to reopen.
The official announcement about the continuation of the Bundesliga is expected on Wednesday, May 6th.
