Covid-19 is a highly infectious and dangerous disease. A resumption of contact play is only achievable if those involved create and maintain a controlled environment that minimises the threat of infection.
Risk in sport cannot be completely eradicated but with caution and care these risks can be reduced.
Each player will need to decide when to return to contact football, based on their own circumstances and the arrangements that have been put in place for a safe return. All those returning to competitive football must adopt the code of behaviour.
