It is probably likely that when/if a player tests positive to covid-19, if the competition kicks off this weekend, it will then be called off.
But will that really be necessary?
Surely these are young men, who should all recover reasonably well and providing all of the quarantine protocols are properly followed, why not let the competition continue?
If I am not mistaken, ultimately all of us need to develop some sort of immunity to this virus and starting with young fit athletes and others in their age group or younger, is the way to go, providing it does not happen too quickly and does not put at risk older and immune deficient people.
If the competition continues without undue risk to those more vulnerable, for many of us watching on TV, it will provide a welcome distraction to all of the terrible stuff going on at present. Barring mass infection breakouts at clubs, I think it is reasonable for the competition to continue behind closed doors.
