Returning to Football after Covid
​
It is recommended that players, managers and coaches that are returning to football after having covid take extra precautions to avoid ongoing issues due to long covid:

Keep their first initial fitness activity to 15 minutes max and then increase from there. For the first 2 weeks post covid, training and play should be less intense. Intensity and duration should increase gradually.
-
Manage their own health needs - take rests when needed.
-
Seek medical advice if experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath and/or have a rapid or irregular heart beat.
