Social distance and you don't have problems, that's fact. If someone was to sue a club because they attended community football match and caught the flu on a cold winters morning we would all be protesting in front of their house and trolling their social media accounts as degenerates.
Stop scaremongering, many community football clubs have jumped the gun because of irresponsible assumptions about return to play guidelines that have not even been communicated. The premier clubs that have resumed training have found the nnswf guidelines very manageable and easy to implement with a very small cost burden of a couple of hundred dollars, not thousands per month as some clubs have communicated to their communities. Clubs do have legal obligations to comply with the office of sport guidelines but they are not onerous or punative, rather focusing on a return to participation. If people within the club are non compliant this needs to be communicated by staff, outside of the football group, call the Police.
Covid spreads in the community because infected people make a choice to socialise instead of isolate and often refuse to get tested when they feel ill. It doesnt spontaneously manifest in the community.
