According to sanitary-epidemiological and medical recommendations, in order to resume the training process, all football players, coaches, as well as the staff of the first-league FC Obolon-Brovar passed tests for coronavirus, which turned out to be negative.

The first after a long break training of "brewers" took place at the club base in Bucha. Before it began, there were traditional birthday greetings and players who have recently become parents. These are Andrii Semenko, Oleksandr Holikov and Ihor Medynskyi. The training session under the guidance of the manager Oleh Mazurenko took place in a pleasant atmosphere, because the players had not seen each other for a long time, and it was felt that they missed football very much.
