The cause of the quarantine is the spread of the corona virus in Italy, where at least 233 people have died in the virus outbreak.

In addition to keeping schools, ski resorts and spa facilities closed until April 3, sports events during the same period will be held without crowds. The bars and restaurants that are open must ensure that guests are seated at least one meter apart.

But Tommasi is concerned about the health of football players. "There is a risk for the players and we must take all precautions for them: on the pitch you definitely cannot keep a distance of one meter," he writes in a post on the player union AIC's website.

On Twitter he had then written: "Let's stop the league !! Stop the football !! ”.

"Is there a big risk"

On Saturday, the president of the Italian Football Association, Gabriele Gravina, warned that the entire league could be paused if any player tested positive for the virus.

"We have to be realistic, there is a great risk and in such a situation we would take all necessary steps to ensure the safety of the athletes, and then consider what impact a decision in that direction would have on the competition," Gravina told TV channel Rai .

On a direct question whether the whole season could be canceled, he replied:

- We cannot exclude anything, but we should also not deal with hypotheses that we cannot predict.

Six matches canceled last weekend will be played in front of empty stands during Sunday and Monday, among them the Juventus-Inter summit.
