Even Though Italy's Lockdown Is Relaxed, Serie A Will Be Without Spectators Until January 2021

JAKARTA - Currently, soccer competitions in Europe's top five leagues are still being suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic or the corona virus. Serie A is expected to resume at the end of May, but it is reported that no spectators will attend at least January 2021

There have been several reports that the implementation of the lockdown in Italy will be relaxed starting May 4. This will of course allow the players to train again, so they can continue their list of fixtures around May 31st.

However, the competition will be played behind closed doors and it is a situation that could last longer than previously thought.

According to Sport Mediaset, quoted from Football Italia, Monday, April 13, leaked government documents suggest that we may not see fans in Italian stadiums until January 2021.

Italy is heading to phase two of the pandemic response. The Spaghetti nation will ease lockdowns but allow for social distancing rules.

It was reported last Sunday, in the last 24 hours there were 'only' 431 deaths from the corona virus in Italy. This significant reduction is evident from the reduction in intensive care in the ICU hospital room.

The country is on a downward trajectory after reaching the peak of the pandemic last week, due to deaths. New cases and ICU admissions have decreased steadily over the past few days.

On Easter Sunday, it was announced that 431 people had died since Saturday, bringing the total deaths in Italy to 19,899. This is a significant drop from the average 550-600 deaths we saw over the previous few weeks.

The number of patients in intensive care fell again by 38, with a current total of 3,343 patients. A total of 1,677 others were discharged from the hospital.

There were 4,092 positive 24-hour tests, but that is also based on the total tests across Italy. Since the outbreak of the pandemic in February, Italy has suffered 156,363 positive cases.
