The OL-ASSE derby will take place this Sunday. This was announced this Saturday by the Minister of Solidarity and Health, Olivier Véran. The match for the 27th day of Ligue 1 is scheduled for this Sunday at 9 p.m. at the Groupama Stadium in Lyon. “The football match between Lyon and Saint-Etienne will be held because it is both outside the cluster areas and outside of confined spaces, “said the minister, while the Paris half-marathon was canceled.
“Attending a football match in an open stadium does not participate in the confinement criterion today as we defined it,” he added. So I cited the example of a football match tomorrow, I could have mentioned others. These are national matches that do not involve teams from risk areas, neither national or international, so there is no need to cancel these events. But I repeat, whenever a situation arises, the case will be raised and a national instruction will be given. “
Paris half-marathon canceled
“With the aim of limiting the spread of the virus through the mixing of populations, the government has decided to adopt a stricter policy with regard to gatherings, just indicated Olivier Véran. In the Oise and in the commune de La Balme in Haute-Savoie, all gatherings are prohibited until further notice. In the rest of the national territory, all gatherings of more than 5,000 people in confined spaces will be canceled. The prefects, in conjunction with the mayors, will receive indications to also cancel gatherings, including in an open environment, when they lead to mixtures with populations from areas where the virus is possibly circulating. As such, for example, we will, in conjunction with the mayor of Paris and the mayor of Cannes, cancel the Paris half-marathon tomorrow and the Mipim in Cannes, or the Annecy carnival. “
