Does the Bundesliga have the roadmap for a return of sports in the post COVID-19 world?

The Bundesliga may provide a template for sports leagues to start, based on consultation with government and health officials, key plans for testing of players and staff, and no fans.  But per usual, the German league has interesting ideas to address this, including cardboard cutouts that fans can provide, and clear communication with supporters groups to avoid public gatherings.  

Firstly, football is dependent on Germany continuing on its path out of the crisis. A relative low death rate — just over 5,000 people have died from COVID-19 — and a marked deceleration in new cases have seen the local governments relax some of the lockdown measures in recent days.
