Most recently, Austrian Vice Chancellor Werner Kogler announced that the restrictions for sports such as tennis and golf will sooner fall than for other disciplines. Chancellor Sebastian Kurz emphasized this once again. Sports that take place in closed rooms, on the other hand, would not have good prospects, Die Presse Kurz quotes. There are no reliable statements about a continuation of the soccer championship.
In Germany, most Bundesliga soccer teams have resumed their training work in small groups, but there is no indication of when sports facilities will open to amateur athletes. At least until the end of the Easter holidays on April 19, this is not to be expected.
The Czech Republic is already one step ahead. As of Tuesday, tennis can be played outdoors again, as the tennisMAGAZIN quotes Czech media. The reason for this is the falling number of infections in the neighboring country of Austria and Germany. Whether this also means that tennis coaches are allowed to pursue their profession again - even in groups - or that double games are allowed has not been specified.
