Champions: The Ministry of Health imposes on Valencia and Getafe the closing of their stadiums before Atalanta and Inter | Champions League 2019

The matches that face Valencia and Atalanta in the eighth of the Champions League on March 10 and Getafe and Inter Miln in the round of Europa League on March 19 should be played with a closed door to prevent the spread of Covid coronavirus. 19 as corrobor yesterday the Ministry of Health. The measure outraged both teams and their groups of peas, but their complaints did not change the opinion of the agency. The Minister of Health, Salvador Illa, said yesterday that any club of any sport must abide by the decision to hold the meetings behind closed doors to avoid the arrival of fans from high-risk areas, such as northern Italy.

In any case, both Valencia and Getafe insist on having a meeting with the Ministry and offer several measures to try to avoid the lock in European meetings. Valencia, for example, studies that only Mestalla subscribers enter. They will do it with an official document – DNI or passport – that proves that they are the holders and may even have to pass some sanitary control, such as a temperature outlet. That way, the team can guarantee the control that Health claims to contain the coronavirus, although the 2,300 Atalanta fans who have already chartered 10 laps chrters and have bought tickets for the Champions duel were harmed.

Getafe proposes a similar measure, that the party is only for subscribers, while its Federation of Peas raises its voice to the roundness of the Ministry. The main Spanish airports are receiving dozens of airplanes a day from flights from Miln (risk zone for the coronavirus) and they may have been in Spain in the Carnivals of Tenerife and Gran Canaria or come to see the Fallas de Valencia .. If these flights were finally banned, teams of any kind of sport could play at home with guarantees and before their public, the association said in a statement.

The measure of the Ministry of Health will also affect the Euroleague duel between Valencia Basket and Armani Miln – a maximum ratified yesterday by the president of the CSD, Irene Lozano, despite complaints from the Euroleague – and not harm Barcelona in Champions. Napols is not considered a risk zone so you can enter the Camp Nou public on your round of 16 on March 18.
