ROME – There have been hours of controversy, so the Viminale attempted to clarify some issues that arise as a result of provisions to address the coronavirus in the sports field included in the new Presidency Decree of the Council of Ministers. According to the proposal of the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, all amateur contact disciplines should be prohibited, since the diffusion of saliva particles that are expelled with the breath increases during physical activity. This means that sports of any kind (soccer and derivatives, martial arts, boxing, volleyball, etc.) cannot be practiced either outdoors or indoors, with the exception of tennis and paddle tennis, which guarantee a safe distance, and obviously those that can be done independently, like jogging. Even gyms or swimming pools, at least currently, are not included in the prohibitions and will be able to continue their activity, monitoring the reserves and specific anti-Covid regulations.
Professionals and amateurs
However, on the recommendation of the Scientific Technical Committee, it was requested to limit these provisions to the amateur level only and the government seems oriented to comply with the request (the position of the amateur leagues and the youth sectors in doubt). In any case, the training sessions of athletes (speech that concerns not only professionalism) of individual and team sports are allowed behind closed doors, complying with the protocols issued by the respective Sports Federations.
What can be done at an amateur level?
Swimming, gym, tennis, paddle tennis, jogging and all sports that do not require contact.
What cannot be done at the amateur level
Soccer (and derivatives), basketball, volleyball, beach volleyball, couple and group dancing, boxing, martial arts, and all other sports that involve contact.
Wearing the mask
Regarding the delicate question of using the mask, here are the provisions: in case of walking (defined as “motor activity”) it should be used, if instead you are going to practice sports (“jogging” and “jogging” are included, as “attributable to sports activity”) It is not necessary .
