restart

LONDON: Starting with smaller events would be the way to go to restart sports after the coronavirus pandemic, according to a public health advisor to the World Health Organisation (WHO).

Sports across the world has come to a standstill due to the pandemic, leading to huge financial losses to organisers and hosts at various levels.

"The bigger the match, the bigger the competition, the more complicated those mitigating actions will have to be - and therefore the less likely it is that they can be done safely," Dr Brian McCloskey told BBC Sport.
