Queensland health authorities will consider giving the state's NRL teams the nod to resume training as the code prepares to restart the season on May 28.
Breaking down the latest news and research to understand how the world is living through an epidemic, this is the ABC's Coronacast podcast.Dr Young hinted at granting the NRL an exemption to start training, commending the way Queenslanders had already adhered to restrictions when it came to sport and exercise.
"Sport, both for individuals as part of their normal lives and that elite sport, is really, really important," Dr Young said. "So I do actually look forward to receiving a detailed plan from [the] NRL and from other codes when they've put one together as to how we could work through it." Several Broncos players, including Jordan Kahu, have taken to social media to keep fans up to date on their training efforts in isolation.
"Obviously there's self isolation at the moment, so we can't train with the other boys but there's a little park just down the road from my house, which we come down to and the kids get to run around as well," Kahu said in a YouTube video.Your questions on coronavirus answered:
