- Coronavirus Last minute
The players of Parma and SPAL , who should have started this Sunday at 12:30 pm their game of the twenty-sixth day of the Serie A, remained in the locker room tunnel waiting for the decision to be taken by the Italian Federation ( FIGC) on the definitive suspension of transalpine competition due to the threat of coronavirus.
Yes now. Not now...
Finally, the meeting will begin at 1:45 p.m. behind closed doors, as planned. An hour and a quarter later than expected and with the players performing the warm-up exercises again.
All because the Government and Federation do not agree on decision making . The Minister of Youth and Sports of Italy, Vincenzo Spadafora, was already in favor of the suspension. "It makes no sense at this time, while we ask huge sacrifices to citizens to prevent the spread of contagion, jeopardize the health of the players, referees, technicians and fans who will surely meet to watch the games just for not temporarily suspending the football and affect the interests that revolve around him, "he said in an official note that includes the Italian newspaper La Repubblica.
Thus, he urged FIGC to stop the competition. "I think it is the duty of the president of the FIGC, Gabriele Gravina, a reflection , without waiting for the first case of contagion among soccer players and taking on this great responsibility," he said.
This morning, the Italian Government announced the prohibition by decree of entrances and exits of the region of Lombardy and other 14 regions considered so far "red zones" from March 8 until April 3, enough time to detect any possible new case of coronavirus.
