Premier League clubs have agreed on the first step to return to training session as teams will be allowed to start training in small groups starting Tuesday.

According to BBC, clubs voted unanimously on the decision at Monday's "Project Restart" meeting.

According to the latest decision, players must stick to social distancing, while contact training is not allowed yet.

In a statement, the Premier League said that the first stage "has been agreed in consultation with players, managers, club doctors, independent experts and the government".

"Strict medical protocols of the highest standard will ensure everyone returns to training in the safest environment possible," it added

"The health and well-being of all participants is the Premier League's priority, and the safe return to training is a step-by-step process," the statement note.

"Full consultation will now continue with players, managers, clubs, the PFA and LMA as protocols for full-contact training are developed."

Since March 13, Britain has suspended all football activities due to the coronavirus pandemic.

How to protect yourself from coronavirus: 

-Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand rub if your hands are not visibly dirty as washing hands with soap and water eliminates the virus if it is on the hands.

-When coughing and sneezing, cover mouth and nose with flexed elbow or tissue – discard tissue immediately into a closed bin and clean your hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water to prevent the spread of germs and viruses. If you sneeze or cough into your hands, you can pass the virus to other people that you have contact with.

-Eating fruits and vegetables that contain Vitamin C so that your immune system could be enhanced for better and be able to confront viruses.

-Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth as hands touch many surfaces, which can be contaminated with the virus. If you touch your eyes, nose or mouth with your contaminated hands, the virus from the surface may infect you.

keep surrounding surfaces clean and free of coronavirus

Accordingly, you need to keep surrounding surfaces clean and free of viruses.

Make sure to keep all surrounding surfaces clean, even those that don’t usually cross minds like: keyboards, phone receivers, doorknobs, light switches, and remote controls.
