Abstract
The COVID19 pandemic has affected all inhabitants of the planet, of all ages and professions, including professional athletes. In connection with the resumption of various sports events, it became necessary to create criteria for admitting an athlete to the training and competitive process. In the British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM) on February 08, 2021 the authors Niall Elliott, Rhodri Martin, Neil Heron, Jonathan Elliott, Dan Grimstead and Anita Biswas published an infographic of the stages of returning to sports activity after suffering COVID19. An adapted translation was made by a team of authors and provided in the form of a short message for publication.
