The World Health Organisation (WHO) has expressed concern that countries were easing virus restrictions around football games at the Euro 2020, noting that some areas were already seeing rising cases.
“WHO is concerned about easing of restrictions in some of the host countries,” Robb Butler, an executive director at WHO's Regional Office for Europe, said in a statement to AFP.
“A few of the stadiums hosting the tournament are now increasing the number of spectators allowed into the stadium to watch a game,” Butler said.
In some “host cities, Covid-19 cases are already on the rise in the area where matches will be held,” added Butler.
