MLS teams have been given the go-ahead to start training on Thursday.
The American league has been suspended since March because of the coronavirus pandemic but has now taken its first major step towards a resumption.
Clubs must submit their respective plans on how to get players back training to their medical staff and a local infectious disease expert.
Players will be subject to a stringent testing policy, including an anti-gen test which will be repeated every three months, and will only be allowed to start training after two negative Covid-19 tests.
Tests will then be carried out every 48 hours and as in line with other major leagues around the world, if a player tests positive he must isolate, with a contact tracing plan in place.
