The Italian government, through the Sports Minister, demanded the suspension of the Italian league matches immediately, minutes before the start of the Parma and Spall match from round 26.

Today, Sunday, the eighth of March, the Italian Confederation set a date for the remaining round of the 26th rounds, the most important of which is the Italy derby between Juventus and Inter in Turin.

Vicenza Spadovara, the sports minister, said in a statement broadcast by Italian channels that he agreed with the president of the Association of Players Damiano Tommasi in his demand to stop the league.

He added that it is not reasonable to risk the health of players, referees and workers in the sports sector, and the possibility of spreading the infection, and asked the President of the Italian Federation to think about that.

 

In his statement, the minister also commented on the economic losses that may result from stopping the competition and not broadcasting matches, stressing that he will work in the coming days to prevent any harm and risks.

The decision came a minute before the start of the Parma and Spall match at the "Ino Tardini" stadium, and the players were prevented from entering the field, and the meeting was postponed for half an hour, pending the final decision of the Federation and the Ministry.

On Saturday evening, the Italian government announced the isolation of 11 provinces in the country due to the outbreak of the Corona virus, and an attempt to limit its spread, including those in Lombardy, which includes Milan and Bergamo.
