The Italian national Olympic committee (CONI) has announced that it has suspended all sporting activities in the country as a measure to contain the coronavirus.
The suspension which will last until April 3, includes all matches in Serie A, Italy’s highest football division, but does not cover Italian clubs or national teams competing in international competitions such as the Champions League.
Italy has been the European country worst hit by the coronavirus so far, with over 7,000 confirmed cases and 300 deaths so far.
After 3rd April, another decision will be taken depending on the state of the outbreak in the country.
