The quarantine still has the world of football discussed. A few days after the restart of the Serie A and Serie B championships, the measure of fiduciary isolation for the whole team in case of positivity to Covid-19 of a member risks blocking the championships. The first example occurred in Venice: the lagoon society made a new virus infection official and, with current rules, could not take the field against Pordenone on Saturday. An opening to the modification of the protocol requested by the Football Association has arrived from the Technical Scientific Committee in the last few days, an important novelty: the isolation remains for the whole team, but the possibility of playing the games after having subjected the whole team to buffer is introduced the very morning of the matches. In order for the change to become official, however, government intervention is needed. "Given that the health situation has improved - explained the Minister for Sport, Vincenzo Spadafora, guest at 'Porta a Porta' - the Scientific and Technical Committee agreed scientifically on the modification requested by the FIGC but you have to change the norm that is contained in a decree law. Either you make an amendment or you put it in a next decree: obviously in both cases I don't think there are times to start from June 20. We will try to do it as soon as possible : I will talk about it with the Prime Minister and also with Minister Speranza. In any case, the FIGC had given its willingness to play also with the first protocol, the one in which the 14-day quarantine was foreseen ". "And we will certainly play because we have no intention of stepping back - explained the president of the FIGC, Gabriele Gravina - but as far as I know, the CTS has given a favorable opinion: we therefore hope that the matter can be resolved quickly quarantine, because it's a problem. " "I hope there are some clarifications - observed also the CEO of the Serie A League, Luigi De Siervo - We do not ask in any way for a different treatment, on the contrary. But we point out that, if what is reported in In these hours, there would be no country in the world like Italy, with such a tight forecast for quarantine. Football in Italy is at a disadvantage compared to all the other countries in the world: this situation risks penalizing also the teams involved in the European cups I hope this topic can be overcome because, as we all know, there is a risk of finding a case: the effort made by the football system would be right for it to be rewarded.
