Premier League Back in Action

The United Kingdom government has given the English Premier League (EPL) the green light to start the stunted season anew in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. The season is announced to restart effective June 1, according to Sky Sports

Daily Post has reported that the Premier League is currently under an indefinite suspension, with nine (9) matches remaining due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

The Premier League and all other top-level sports in England could begin afresh unannounced next month without football enthusiasts and spectators to attend venues until a  vaccine to combat the virus is found.

The UK government's road map for exiting the lockdown imposed to curb the spread of Covid-19 was published on Monday, setting out the conditions under which various cultural and sporting events can be safely carried out in the country.

The second step of the road map, which can't begin any earlier than June 1, includes: "permitting cultural and sporting events to take place "behind closed doors" for broadcast while avoiding the risk of large-scale social contact."
