Governments all around the world have decided to ease the lockdown despite receiving warnings from the healthcare authorities.

Sports activities have also resumed in the United States and matches are being planned in stadiums and courts without any spectators.

Long Island New York is also opening tennis courts for its citizens and Nassau County Executive Laura Curran warned people to maintain social distancing and avoid teaching each other’s balls. She was obviously talking about tennis balls.
