Frankfurt, Apr 6 (IANS): The German football league (DFL) decided on Tuesday that the Bundesliga and second division clubs won't have to go into a mandatory quarantine training camp.

From a medical perspective, such a measure is not considered necessary at present, the DFL said. However, it reserved the right to revisit the decision at a later point in the current season, DPA reported.

"Temporary waiving the measure, the executive committee follows a recommendation of the task force for sports medicine and special match operations. The procedure has also been agreed (upon) with the Football Commission," the DFL said.

The Bundesliga season is set to end on May 22, and the second division a day later. Recently, there had been some cancellations in the lower tier due to coronavirus cases.

The DFL has, however, has also tightened its safety approach with new measures. Once the incidence rate reaches 35 cases per 100,000 people over a seven-day period, rapid antigen tests would be carried out on every day of training and travel, in addition to the obligatory PCR tests.
