As the SARS-CoV-2 infection rate decreased in spring 2020, phased reopening of Danish society began, including a reopening of elite football (soccer), adhering to a strict protocol. In this study, we report the consequences of resumption of competitive play in the two best football (soccer) leagues for men in Denmark measured by number of SARS-CoV-2 positive players. The players were tested weekly for SARS-CoV-2 for 11 consecutive weeks. The test protocol comprised 26 teams with 748 players. In total, 6511 tests were done with a positivity rate of 0.06%. The incidence rate of players testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 was 0.53% (4/748). There were no signs of a chain of infection. We found a low incidence rate of SARS-CoV-2, and based on this, a controlled reopening of professional football strictly following a detailed protocol appears safe for the players.
随着 2020 年春季 SARS-CoV-2 感染率的下降，丹麦社会开始分阶段重新开放，包括精英足球（足球）的重新开放，同时遵循严格的协议。在这项研究中，我们报告了丹麦两个最佳男子足球（足球）联赛恢复比赛的后果，这是通过感染 SARS-CoV-2 的球员人数来衡量的。球员们每周接受 SARS-CoV-2 检测，连续 11 周。测试方案包括 26 个团队和 748 名球员。总共进行了 6511 次检测，阳性率为 0.06%。感染 SARS-CoV-2 的球员的发病率为 0.53%（4/748）。没有感染链的迹象。我们发现 SARS-CoV-2 的发病率很低，基于此，严格遵循详细协议的职业足球的受控重新开放对球员来说是安全的。
