Italy is one of the countries most affected by the corona virus. Over 30,000 people have died from it.

But lately, the trend has been positive, and football is now up and running again.

Great celebration in Naples

On Wednesday, the final was played by the Italian Cup, and then Napoli won the club's first title in six years. It was celebrated extensively in Naples, where thousands of people gathered in town.

One who has seen the pictures from the celebration is the World Health Organization WHO Deputy Director General Ranieri Guerra, who did not like what he saw.

- Right now we can't afford this. But fortunately, it happened in Naples, where the governor and the mayor have taken strict measures, so the prevalence of the virus is lower than anywhere else. But it hurts to see these pictures. I remember how much the Atalanta match affected the spread in Lombardy at the beginning of the epidemic and caused many infections, he says, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, and continues:

- I don't want it to be repeated now.

The Atalanta match that Guerra is referring to is the Champions League match between Atalanta and Valencia on February 20. The match was played in front of 40,000 spectators at San Siro in Milan, and has subsequently been described as a "biological bomb".
