Premier League can restart from June 1 behind closed doors

The Premier League received a green signal on Monday as the United Kingdom government set June 1 as the potential date to resume the halted 2019/20 season albeit behind closed doors. 

On Sunday, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson chalked out a roadmap to ease lockdown restrictions and the report has been



released. The document comprising 50 pages, and entitled: "Our Plan to Rebuild: The UK Government's Covid-19 Recovery Strategy," includes "permitting cultural and sporting events to take place behind closed-doors for broadcast, while avoiding the risk of large-scale social contact," but has only been allowed after June 1 onwards.
