The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has spread worldwide, affecting the lives of over 5.3 million people, and spreading across 215 countries.

Premier League clubs returned to training while the Bundesliga restarted the season over the weekend behind closed doors after chancellor Angela Merkel gave the go-ahead last week. It was the first major footballing league to return after lockdown in Europe. Celtic won a ninth-straight Scottish Premiership title after the season was ended.

While the La Liga has announced clubs can train with a group of 10 players, Serie A is eyeing a restart on June 13.

Cricket is back too, with the inaugural season of the Vincy Premier T10 League in the Pacific nation of Vanuatu giving fans of the game some fodder over the next few days.
