Italy suspends sporting events until April 3 due to coronavirus spread

The Hindu  

All sporting activities in Italy have been suspended until April 3, the Italian National Olympic Committee has announced. All sport in the country had already been required to take place behind closed doors until April 3 as part of a previous government decree as Italy attempts to slow the spread of the coronavirus outbreak. Italy's national rugby team has already seen its Six Nations fixtures with Ireland and England postponed due to the spread of the virus. Earlier on Monday, France's minister for sport announced that all Ligue 1 games will be played behind closed doors or see fan numbers restricted to 1,000. Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League last-16 second-leg tie with Borussia Dortmund will take place behind closed doors, while France's Six Nations match with Ireland at the Stade de France has been postponed.
