These conditions have been set to prepare the clubs for an extended training retreat and keep the players on site to prevent contact from the outside and avoid external contaminations.
Serie A is still working on the protocol for the resumption and Minister of Sport Vincenzo Spadafora revealed that entire squads will be quarantined if one player or staff member tests positive for COVID-19 once group training resumes.
On the contrary to the German Bundesliga, where only the individual testing positive for the virus is subjected to the following isolation period.
The need to keep the players and staff in the retreat could be decisive, as one positive player could affect the outcome and put the completion of Serie A 2019-20 in danger under the current measures.
