Germany’s plans to restart competitive football next Saturday suffered an early setback after the entire Dynamo Dresden team were placed in a two-week quarantine following two positive coronavirus tests among the players.
The Bundesliga 2 club announced on their website that tests taken on Friday had revealed two new positive cases and local health authorities had ordered the team into quarantine. Dresden were scheduled to play Hannover 96 next Sunday in their first game back following the stoppage caused by the coronavirus outbreak.

“After an intensive analysis of the situation, the health authority in Dresden … decided on Saturday that the entire second division squad, including the coaching and support team, must now go into a 14-day quarantine at home,” the club said. “Due to the quarantine measures, [we] will not be able to travel to Lower Saxony for the away game on matchday 26 as planned.”
Dynamo’s sporting director, Ralf Minge, said: “In the past few weeks, we have made enormous efforts in terms of personnel and logistics in order to strictly implement all the prescribed medical and hygienic measures. We are in contact with the responsible health authority and the DFL [German Football League] to coordinate all further steps. The fact is that we can neither train nor participate in the game in the next 14 days.”
The Bundesliga announced this week that it would restart on 16 May after the government gave its approval. The league has drawn up a detailed set of regulations and guidelines for training and matches to reduce the risk of transmitting the virus, including stringent testing. However, the question of how to respond to positive tests is out of the hands of the league as German law states any response to cases is a matter for the local health authority.
The league has been on hold since mid-March because of the coronavirus outbreak which has brought football to a standstill around the world and Germany’s progress is being closely watched by other leagues.
On Monday, the DFL said it had registered 10 positive cases in a blanket test of 1,724 players and staff at its 36 first and second division clubs.

I was reading an article where a viral scientist stated that without a vaccine there was no chance this virus can be controlled. The recent lock down was an artificial flattening of the curve and the virus will return once we all start going out again.
Basically the only hope is that enough people catch it to eventually produced herd immunity. So countries like Germany who have done well so far might only be delaying the inevitable.
As for football how can players possibly follow social distancing and other safety issues?
The PL/Championship can restart the season but it is bound to be disrupted by positive tests for COVID-19. It will descend into chaos as entire squads are told to isolate for 14 days and games are called of left right and centre.

I said a couple of weeks ago, that this scenario could play out,and Germany were jumping the gun! And then at the end of 14 day quarantine for the whole squad, another positive test could well happen,and the whole process starts again!! Absolutely daft decision to re start ANY football,when the risks are still so high? Just hold back,and start when it's safer to do so,if that's next year then so be it,I want the season to finish in the only way,and that's to play it out, but not now imho.
