The local government also advised Serie A clubs to regularly check up on the players and staff and protect them from the corona virus.

Players are not allowed to drink from the same bottle during matches or training sessions. Players are also prohibited from eating in the locker room and try to keep clothes and towels separate from other players.

Players are also not recommended to touch their eyes, nose or mouth with dirty hands. Players are also required to close their mouths when coughing and sneezing, or use disposable tissues.

The training ground and locker room will be regularly disinfected, if there are players who show symptoms of the corona virus, the player must be separated from the squad.
