Foreign Athletes and Coaches allowed to return to Russia now

"VAN" (Sports Desk) :: Russian government has allowed athletes and coaches, who are citizens of foreign states, to return to Russia, the cabinet’s website said on Sunday.

"The permit applies to those who have a valid labor contract with a Russian sports organization," according to the amendments submitted to a decree on temporarily limiting entry to Russia. "Like all those who arrive from abroad, athletes will be monitored by doctors. They will also be required to undergo a 14-day quarantine."

The move will help professional sports organization, including football clubs represented in the Russian Premier League, to resume exercises after the relaxation of anti-coronavirus restrictions, the cabinet said.

The 2019-2020 season of Tinkoff-Russian Premier League will resume on June 21.
