Covid-19/Spain: the government authorizes individual training from 04/05/2020

"From 04/05/2020, it will be possible to resume individual training for professional and national level athletes, and basic training within professional leagues," announced Pedro Sanchez, the Spanish Prime Minister, on 28/04/2020.

The resumption of sports training is one of the measures adopted by the Spanish government as part of a plan for progressive de-confinement, which will begin on 04/05/2020, and which will consist of four phases and will last from six to eight weeks. According to several Spanish media outlets, the resumption of training will be framed by a very strict protocol: exercises sent to players in advance, players arriving at the training center already in uniform (and then showering after at home), wearing a mask and gloves, a maximum six players on the field in same time, and more.

The Spanish government anticipates that, if health conditions allow, professional clubs will be able to resume classic training conditions (with their full squads) from 25/05/2020, which corresponds to phase 2 of the de-confinement plan.
