The German Football Association (DFB) and the German Football Association announced on Wednesday the start of easing the health measures that accompany the Bundesliga matches, through steps highlighted by not requiring players sitting on the bench to put on the protective gags anymore.
On May 16, Germany became the first major football tournament in Europe to complete domestic competitions, after being suspended since last March due to the consequences of the emerging Corona virus.
This return came behind closed doors in the face of the fans, and with strict hygiene measures for the players, the technical staff and all those involved in the matches.
But the German football authorities announced today to start easing the procedures, and therefore, it will not be obligatory for those sitting to the bench, putting gags as usual since the games resume.
Club officials attending the podium will also be allowed to remove the muzzle.
The removal of the muzzle will be available when the concerned persons "have become at least 1.5 meters from the person closest to them."
As part of the easing of restrictions, the game authorities have increased the maximum number of media representatives allowed to be on the field, from 13 to 26.
The joint statement of the Association and Federation stated that "these amendments have been subject to the approval and approval of the Federal Ministry of Labor, and it is scheduled to be implemented until the end of the season."
These will be implemented in the final cup competition scheduled for the fourth of July.
The thirty-first stage (out of 34) in the German League will be held this weekend. Bayern Munich, who is looking for its eighth title, takes the lead, seven points behind Borussia Dortmund.
