Italian govt agrees to 'soft' quarantine before Serie A return

The Italian government on Thursday agreed to ease quarantine restrictions for football teams in the case of a positive coronavirus test as Serie A prepares to return to action this weekend. Italian football federation president Gabriele Gravina hailed the decision as "another step forward for the completion of this sporting season". The required two-week quarantine period for the entire team and staff in the case of a positive test for COVID-19 would have made it difficult for the championship to conclude.
