Spanish Minister of Health Salvador Illa has doubts about the continuation of the football season in the Primera Division in the coming months. “I can’t say yet whether professional football can start again before summer. That would be reckless of me, ”said Illa on Sunday at his daily corona crisis press conference. It was “unwise” to promise this.
With over 23,000 deaths, Spain is one of the countries most affected by the coronavirus. Game operations have been suspended since March 12. League boss Javier Tebas is determined to finish the championship in order to save the vital TV revenues.
The league plans to test all players for corona virus before returning to training and then regularly. Illa, however, was cautious about the possible special treatment of the football professionals. “The diagnostic tests, regardless of their type, must be made available to the regional authorities,” he said.
