BEIJING (Dispatches) - Guidelines for National Federations have been published by FIBA  to provide suggestions for restarting basketball activities amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
FIBA said in its media release that the guidelines, published in English, French and Spanish, were primarily for National Federations that were seeking direction and advice on the restart of basketball activities and competitions, with the vast majority around the world having been halted in mid-March due to the pandemic.
In the guidelines, FIBA called on the National Federations all over the world to form a restart oversight committee and undertake a full risk and mitigation assessment as parts of initial preparations before the restart of the domestic basketball competitions and activities.
The guidelines suggested the national basketball associations allow their teams to have 3-6 weeks of training which begins with the individual style prior to the restart. The National Federations are asked to take measures to ensure the health of all basketballers and attendances.
