On 13 May, it was announced that team training would be resumed on 18 May,[22] and on 18 May it was announced that Italian football would be suspended until 14 June.[6] On 28 May,Italian Minister for SportVincenzo Spadafora announced that Serie A would resume starting 20 June.[7] Protocol was established wherein the entire squad would be quarantined for 14 days if one member, player or staff, tests positive forCOVID-19.[23] On 18 June, Spadafora approved the softening of quarantine rules which allowed for the quarantining of only the individual who tests positive for COVID-19, whereas the rest of the squad will ramp up testing, including a rapid-response test the day before a match.[24]
