The CTS coordinator: “It is desirable to have more time from UEFA” ROME (ITALPRESS) – “Every effort will be made to allow the opening match of the European Championships and the other three matches to be held in Rome. There is no doubt about this” . To the microphones of “Radio too sport”, on Rai Radio 1, the president of the Superior Council of Health and coordinator of the Scientific Technical Committee, Franco Locatelli, reassures sportsmen and also UEFA about the commitment to guarantee a minimum number of spectators at the Olimpico (25%) for the upcoming European football championships. This is the condicio sine qua non that the FIGC will have to communicate to the highest continental body by April 19th. “Given that the choice is up to politics, on the part of the CTS there is the maximum willingness to evaluate the presence of the public, also considering the movements of fans and team groups – underlines Professor Locatelli – It would be desirable for UEFA to grant a little ‘more time, because it is difficult to make a forecast for an event that will take place in two months “. To this end, the 60-year-old academic from Bergamo hopes for “maximum dialogue with both the Undersecretary for Sport Vezzali and the Football Federation, in order to have a little more time to make a complete assessment of what is the percentage of spectators and to elaborate a series of protocols that are rigorously in line for the management of events like these. If we could get to early May an evidence-based forecast would be slightly more feasible. Epidemiological indicators suggest a clear downtrend at this time, but make predictions two months later it is quite demanding “. Locatelli, then, hopes for a reopening of the stadiums in September “because it would mean that we would have reached a limited viral circulation and that therefore we would have also restarted other aspects of the social life of the country”. Finally, on the possibility of vaccinating athletes who reach Tokyo for the Summer Olympics this summer, postponed by a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic: “It is a decision that belongs to the Government and that would have its own logic in allowing the participation of the athletes in a condition of maximum protection. But these are choices that belong to politics, the roles must not be confused “. (ITALPRESS). mc / red 12-Apr-21 10:15
