Each one exposed the situation related to the Covid-19 pandemic in their own countries and the repercussions on everyone's life and the life of Panathlon.
It was a very fruitful and interesting meeting that aroused a lot of enthusiasm.

Mensaje del Distrito Uruguay ante la pandemia del COVID-19
Keine Monatstreffen wegen Coronavirus? Muss nicht sein, sagte sich der PC Chur und Umgebung. Christoph Schmid, der hartnäckig nach einer Lösung zur“ Rettung“ seines Starts als neuer Präsident gesucht hatte, fand in seinem Vorstand die Lösung. „Lasst uns doch, statt dem April-Meeting im Hotel Stern, ein virtuelles Treffen via Telefon machen“, sagte unser Medienverantwortliche Reinhard Spahr, dem diese zündende Idee unter der Dusche kam. Die Mitglieder konnten sich zur üblichen Zeit per Telefon einloggen, um dem Referat von Denise Rudin, Leiterin der Abteilung Gesundheitsförderung und Prävention beim Gesundheitsamt Graubünden, beizuwohnen. „Gesundheit in der Krise“ lautete der Titel ihres Referats. Dabei zeigte die Referentin eindrücklich auf, wie Sport- und Bewegungsförderung besonders auch für ältere Semester von grosser Bedeutung sind. Somit könne die Schwelle zur Behinderung und Abhängigkeit um Jahre hinausgeschoben werden. Mit Tipps für gesunde Ernährung und Motivation für Bewegung konnte Denise Rudin motivieren, sich auch im Alter und in Zeiten des Coronavirus fit zu halten. Im Anschluss an das Referat wurden Fragen der Teilnehmer beantwortet.
Für Clubs, die sich für solche Audiokonferenzen via Telefon interessieren, sagt Reinhard Spahr: „Mittlerweile gibt es in allen Panathlonclubs Leute, die wissen, wie man eine Telefonkonferenz organisiert. Es gibt zahlreiche Anbieter wie z.B. www.telefonkonferenz.ch oder Microsoft Teams, um Konferenzen abzuhalten.“

IOC - Report activities
Published in News from Panathlon International
As every year, Panathlon International has prepared and sent to the IOC its report on the activities.
It is part, as a recognized association, of the Olympic Family since 1982 which supports in the actions concordant with the purposes of the panathletic movement.
The International Board of Panathlon International, which met by video conference on 3 April 2020, expresses to all Panathletes of the 30 nations in which it is present and to their families, its closeness and solidarity at this time so devastating for society and for the sporting world. A special thought goes to the Italian Panathletes who first had to fight the gruelling battle of the pandemic from the Covid-19 and are still committed to eradicating this invisible and insidious enemy.
The IB has learned of the generosity that many Panathlon Clubs have shown by raising funds for hospitals and for the purchase of vital sanitary materials. To these Clubs it expresses its satisfaction and thanks. These actions prove, once again, how much Panathlon is at the service of the community.
Finally, it wishes the best fortunes for all, inviting all Panathletes to keep in touch and stay close even if they are so far away. The IB is convinced that the positive values of sport, team spirit, tenacity and endurance will help Panathlon to overcome this moment to start again with renewed awareness and enthusiasm.
