COVID-19: Serie A games halted over coronavirus
By Mariam Ayebare
AGENCIES – Following the increased cases of the deadly corona-virus in Italy, Serie A games have been called off to avoid the risk of spreading the virus since these matches always hold large crowds.
Italy had earlier decided to hold its Serie A games in indoor as a way to reduce overcrowding by allowing no fans in the pitches, this, however, has looked not to be the best solution due to the increased cases of the virus in the country. This has forced the governing body to suspend all the matches.
