German soccer to reopen

The World

The Bundesliga, Germany’s premier soccer league, is scheduled to resume play this week for the first time in more than two months. Many precautionary measures are being taken. There will be no fans in the stadium stands, and the league said that it will disinfect balls throughout the game. Even with these measures in place, some players are skeptical and worried about their health.
