The association confirmed on its official website (http://www.crlombardia.it/) that the day to be played this weekend was “postponed” by the “criticism” situation around the outbreak of coronavirus in the north of the country where already 34 infections have been confirmed, the majority in Lombardy, although there have been a couple of cases in Veneto and three in Lazio.
