The 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), otherwise known as COVID-19, is an infectious disease first identified in the city of Wuhan, capital of Hubei province in China. Infections have since been reported worldwide resulting in an unprecedented international response that amongst other containment measures, lead to the widespread suspension of many sporting fixtures worldwide. During a representative survey of the British adult population, undertaken between the 3rd and 4th June 2020, respondents were asked their opinion on the level of risk presented to professional athletes taking part in these competitions that have resumed.
The responses to this survey have subsequently been categorized into into two groups characterized by the gender of the respondents.
The greatest share of both male and female respondents held the opinion that the resuming sporting fixtures would present the same level of risk to professional athletes taking part in these competitions.
