O B S: Euro 2020 has increased the number of Contaminated by Ovid 19

“We should look beyond the” stadiums, said Catherine Smallwood, WHO's senior emergency officer.

We should see how people get there: Are they traveling in large buses? And when they leave the stadiums, are they going into a place full of people to watch the games? ”

In Scotland, more than two thousand people came up positive after watching an EURO 2020 game, reports The New York Times, records Clankosova.tv.

About 120 fans from Finland were infected after traveling to St Petersburg, Russia.

After months of restrictions on the virus, and with the European Championship delayed for a year, football fans have been eager to travel across borders to watch their nationals' matches.

Finnish tourists attended the games in Russia, French fans travelled to Romania, and Welsia supported their team in the Netherlands.

In countries such as Belgium, Britain and France, locals had reopened just weeks before the start of the tournament.

But since most European countries have vaccinated less than a third of their population with both doses, risks are still high.

Experts say weak restrictions imposed on trips to the football championship may have serious consequences later in the summer or in the autumn.

The increase in tournament-related cases comes more than a year after football games organised early last year turned out to be the reason for the first infections in Europe.

Germany's interior minister, Horst Seehofer, called the decision by the European football director body, U n The EFA, which heads the tournament, to allow large crowds in the <x0 stadiums, totally irresponsible”.

Despite warnings from O BSH, British officials are allowing 60 thousand fans to attend the semi-final and final phase of the championship, which will be held at “Wembley Stadium” in London.
