Serie B Postpones Matches Due To COVID-19, Winter Holidays Are Getting Longer

JAKARTA - Two series of Italian League Serie B matches scheduled for December 26 and December 29 were postponed due to the spike in COVID-19 cases in various clubs.

The postponement automatically puts Pisa's second division football competition into a longer winter break considering that the season will restart on January 15 next year.

The top flight Serie A was generally unaffected by this winter break with only one match being canceled after bottom side Salernitana were banned from traveling to Udinese due to the COVID-19 case affecting their squad.

Serie A said last week that 98 percent of players had already received two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine so the division is relatively unaffected by the coronavirus.
