May 26, 2020 The precautionary quarantine "is always two weeks, even in the world of football". This was specified by the Technical Scientific Committee in reference to the news released by the media of the reduction of the possible quarantine period to which players and team staff subjected to the positive test at Covid 19, or their closest contacts, were assumed, assuming only one week of quarantine, instead of two universally recognized weeks."It appeared in the national press, supported by some well-known representatives of the world of football, says the technical scientific committee (CTS) - the news that the CTS would have agreed with the sports authorities, first of all the FIGC and the Football League, not only the procedures and protocols for the reopening of the championship, but also the reduction of the possible quarantine period to which players and team staff subjected to the diagnostic test for the presence of the sars-cov-2 virus or their closest contacts are subjected, assuming one week of precautionary quarantine, instead of two universally recognized weeks ".
From the health point of view, the CTS reiterates "strongly" that "there are no alternatives to what is represented in each location, for each type of activity and for each type of subject, in relation to the resumption of these activities, in full compliance with the rules in force and the scientific evidence that these rules have contributed to generate ".
"To hypothesize a" particular treatment ", with the exception of certain categories of people and activities, such as football professionals, as well as for other team sports that involve prolonged physical contact - underlines the committee - is misleading and provocative, tending to create a climate of low trust in the reliability and ethical and scientific rigor with which the CTS has faced and continues to face the complex technical problems related to the progressive reopening of the country, in the context of the process of strengthening the territorial and hospital sectors of the system national health and monitoring indicators established by the ministry of health in consultation with regional administrations ".
