Meetings to Discuss Sports Restart Are Going to Be Held

The government is preparing to set up the first of a series of daily meetings this week comprising senior global sports medical directors in an effort to get back to work as soon as possible. A source close to the plans characterized the move as a "quickening of the pace" and intended to help revive sport "within weeks," if progress was made. Members of the Chief Medical Officer would also be interested in the weekly meetings and the proposal was briefed to the Prime Minister. Health specialists would analyze the details of each sport and see what procedures are required to get will one up and running as quickly as possible, ensuring that some would return faster than others. Training, social distancing, standards of sanitation and strict limitations on the number of people permitted in the premises will all be discussed. It comes days after Secretary of Culture Oliver Dowden told MPs that after the coronavirus lockout he had had "productive talks" with regulatory bodies around British sport about restarting. A transition to action however relies on the five criteria being met by the government, particularly an increase in testing and meeting the guidelines for social distance. Sports are on hold at all rates because of the coronavirus outbreak which has took the lives of over 19,000 people in the UK. The 2019-20 season has been delayed indefinitely by the Premier League, Women's Super League and English football leagues as the lower-league season in Scotland has ended. Cricket remain postponed in England and Wales until 1 July. The first nine Formula 1 season races have also been called off, with the British Grand Prix planned for July. The London Marathon, due to take place this weekend, was postponed for October. Premiership clubs at the Rugby Union are operating for a finest-case scenario of returning to action on the 3-5 July weekend. Like the three other men's majors postponed, Golf's Open Championship, which was expected to take place in Kent in July, has been postponed. The meetings are regarded as preliminary and are meant to avoid a further pause in resuming seasons once permission has been given, rather than an indication that it has been imminent. Indeed, there is an understanding that when no progress is made elsewhere, the proposals being placed in motion may not end up being enforced for months. Government officials have decided that sports will only be able to be implemented behind closed doors at this point. But there's an understanding that after months of lockout, it can give many people a much-needed boost to confidence. However, officials are reported to be anxious about the possibility of fans gathering outside the stadium in large numbers to rejoice if titles are confirmed, for example. Dowden said this week that when the season begins, the Premier League was planning to make some behind-closed-door fixtures available for free-to-air. But officials are said to be aware of commercial arrangements with Sky and BT broadcasters and understand more generally the value of the revenue they produce for the sport. On Friday the Premier League will hold its next conference. Do not forget leaving your valuable comment on this piece of writing and sharing with your near and dear ones.
