Flamengo's match against Palmeiras goes ahead despite COVID-19 outbreak

The Hindu  

A top judge authorized a top-flight Brazilian football match to go ahead despite a risk of COVID-19 contagion among players. Only minutes before the scheduled kickoff, Brasilia-based labor judge Luiz Philippe Vieira de Mello Filho overturned two injunctions to allow Palmeiras and defending champion Flamengo to play the game in Sao Paulo. The match ended 1-1 with Flamengo fielding several young players after 20 members of the squad tested positive for the coronavirus last week. Rio-based Fluminense said it had at least five players with COVID-19, a figure that could grow before Monday’s match against Curitiba.
