The measure was expected, since the decision announced Sunday evening by the Minister of Health Olivier Véran to ban all gatherings of more than 1,000 people throughout the territory. The Champions League second round of 16 between PSG and Dortmund on Wednesday evening will take place behind closed doors due to the coronavirus epidemic.
The announcement was made by the Paris police headquarters on Monday, after a meeting at the Ministry of Sports with the National Sports Agency (ANS), the sports department (DS) and the national committees Olympic (CNOSF) and Paralympic (CPSF).
