So now riders with antibodies get immunity passports and don't have to do tests anymore? That is surprising, given the fact that it's not even sure how long immunity lasts.
I am not surprised. I have been shocked at how much garbage people post on social media to the point of confusion to the community. Some of that could be political or might have some other agendas. But here we see that immunity exists for at least some time.So now riders with antibodies get immunity passports and don't have to do tests anymore?

In Belgium there will be an important decision today about the number of spectators allowed at a sporting event. At the moment it's 200 indoors and 400 outdoors, but that might get stricter. It's even possible that no spectators will be allowed anymore. I'm not sure what that would mean for cycling, where the access is normally free.
It's quite possible to pick it up in airports or while traveling.
If you still want to have a quarantine, then have it in Italy, or the country arriving at. As I noted before, that's what S. Korea and Taiwan do.
The whole point of the quarantine is that Italy doesn't trust people in certain countries not to be exposed to the virus. Fair enough. But in that case, the quarantine should be in Italy, where presumably they feel the person is more likely to be safe after the quarantine is over.
Yes, that's what I meant - quarantine in the destination country. I thought that's what the conversation was about, (not quarantine before departure), sorry if I didn't get that properly.
the immunity passport is actually not mentioned in the new UCI protocols anymore (only in the very first) - so I assumed they scrapped that ideaSo now riders with antibodies get immunity passports and don't have to do tests anymore?

The province of Antwerp decided on some new measures last night. People will have to wear mouth masks everywhere outside the house, even when biking or jogging. For now these measures will last 4 weeks. I can't see any race that goes through Antwerp go on as long as these measures are in place. This could mean the Ronde van Vlaanderen, which starts in the city of Antwerp, gets cancelled if the measures aren't scaled back by then.

Make a guess why they took new measures.That is over 2 months away - What will stop the race is too many positive cases, not if you have to wear a mask - A number of countries in Europe have mandated the use of masks in public.
They help, but I practically hear nothing from the experts on how unhealthy it is.....
Masks while riding or going for a walk. Insane. Sure will keep people at home. Will also make them pretty unhealthy.
