May 9th Bundesliga to restart football

Is this not the problem, that the vast majority of people who get Covid-19 won't know they have it and so cases will continue to spread? They could be waiting for months until they get a 100% clear record from every player, official, groundsman, TV people etc etc

Clubs in the top two German divisions have returned 10 positive results from 1,724 coronavirus tests, says the German football league.
Clubs have been training in groups, with the tests taken before a planned return to training as teams.
Measures including "the isolation of the affected person" have been taken, said the DFL.
Top-flight side Cologne have had no further Covid-19 infections after three people tested positive last week.
The trio are "symptom-free" but remain in quarantine for 14 days, said the club.
The Bundesliga is set to become the first major football league in Europe to return to competition.
Officials suggested resuming on 9 May but the government delayed the decision and a restart may now be on 16 or 23 May.
 
The ultras groups are almost entirely against a restart without fans, although they don’t necessarily speak for the majority of fans.

One of the stipulations that the ultras want if football does return behind closed doors is that it should be on free-to-air TV which is a tricky one when Sky have paid for the rights.
