Professional athletes in Austria will be able to resume training before the end of April as the country eases restrictions to combat the coronavirus pandemic, the government announced on Wednesday.
There will be restrictions as the government is recommending football teams train in groups of no more than six players.
Sports Minister Werner Kogler told a press conference the aim was to restart the Austrian Bundesliga, which last played on March 8, behind closed doors.
Kogler said he was not opposed to the Spielberg Formula 1 Grand Prix, scheduled for 5 July, being held without a crowd, but said with the borders closed, bringing the teams to Austria could be an issue.
Some 600 professional athletes from disciplines will again have access to all the sports facilities, both indoor and outdoor, which have been closed since mid-March.
