Yesterday, the Chinese Football League competitions started after a five-month delay due to the outbreak of the new Corona virus, a minute of silence in mourning for the victims of the epidemic that appeared in the country for the first time.

The players bowed their heads to salute the victims of «Covid-19» and health care workers, before the title holders Guanjo Evergrande coached by Italian Fabio Cannavaro, and the title holder of the Shanghai Xinhua Cup, which was held in Dalian.

The season was due to start in February, but the "Covid-19" outbreak that appeared in Wuhan for the first time last December led to the postponement of the date.

The matches are held according to the gathering system in Dalian and Suzhou, according to strict health procedures and behind closed doors.

Players will be tested weekly during the season.
