Fernando Carro, chairman of the board at Bayer 04 Leverkusen, assessed the decisions of the DFL as follows: "There is great consensus amongst the representatives of the 36 professional clubs about the agreed approach. We are all aware of our responsibility to primarily ensure the health of everybody but also beyond that. As Bayer 04 Leverkusen, we must and will primarily focus on the health of our players and staff as well as the required maintenance of our business activity. That comes first. At the same time, we will endeavour, provided this exceptional situation with its unpredictable course of evets allows us, to discuss scenarios for the continuation of fixtures together with our local authorities and in unison with the DFL."
