LISBON: Portugal, preparing to restart its professional soccer league on May 30, will not automatically order entire squads to be quarantined if one or more players test positive for coronavirus.
The entire squad of German second division side Dynamo Dresden were ordered into quarantine on Saturday for 14 days by local authorities after two players tested positive. German law states that any response to cases is a matter for the local health authority. Portugal's Primeira Liga teams began training last week ahead of the planned re-start. Vitoria Guimaraes said on Sunday three players had tested positive and been isolated while the rest of the squad would continue with individual training.Portugal's guidelines state that players testing positive must be isolated but that the implementation of regular testing should mean collective quarantine is not necessary.
Players, coaching staff and referees must remain at home until the end of the season, except for matches and training.
