This is not a pipe dream and we welcome it. From May 11, the grip of confinement imposed by the scourge of the coronavirus will loosen. A procedure which will, however, not authorize any individual relaxation in this new social era which will be sanitary or not. If everything remains under control, the life of sporting competitions will be able to breathe again, with an important date of June 15 for all fans of mechanical vehicles. It is in fact at this time that the circuits will be accessible again… Or almost!
The information comes to us from the site endurance24.fr. And we take it as it is, with happiness in this depressing situation. According to this source, the Ministry of Sports submitted its proposed deconfinement strategy to Matignon on Wednesday April 22.
The ministry proposes the resumption of professional sport in general and the activity of high-level athletes from May 11, date on which athletes could return to training.
The ministry also proposes the resumption of outdoor sport for the general public with the slogan: “ the French should be able to “run, walk and ride” outdoors in “normal” conditions from May 11. »
Concerning professional sport, the ministry is proposing a resumption of competitions behind closed doors for professional leagues until the end of the season. Another section reports the resumption of activities in the commercial field of sport (auto circuit, racetracks, etc.). It is proposed that these activities will gradually resume from May 11. The goal to achieve is to reopen everything from 15 June. The ministry adds that these activities represent strong added value in economic, tourist and health terms.
The ministry's objective is the normal resumption of big events from the month ofAugust always within the framework of health doctrine. We are therefore moving in the right direction, even if a World Championship event is not guaranteed. Because this requires planes that take off and land just like open borders. And that's another story... But each day is enough for its pain.
