The Undersecretary of Public Health, Paula Daza, together with the mayor of the Metropolitan Region, Felipe Guevara, and the seremi of RM Health, Paula Labra, made an inspection visit to the Monumental Stadium, where the National Championship will resume tomorrow, with the duel between Colo Colo and Santiago Wanderers.On the occasion, the health authorities delivered a series of recommendations of auto safety to football fans , due to the coronavirus. Undersecretary Daza asked “all fans who will watch football from home to maintain sanitary measures: Handwashing, mask and physical estrangement. There is no quarantine this weekend and there should be no social gatherings.” In the same vein, he added that “we’re going to have to party without a hug but shout the goal with masks. I ask that despite the excitement, we must maintain the prevention measures.” For his part, Mayor Guevara detailed that “in all the stadiums enabled in the capital there will be four zones of operation in order to safeguard the health and safety of those who attend the venues, which are divided as follows: court, the reserve area of players and booth for the press, access to the venue and the outskirts of the stadium. Only a maximum of 390 people, including players and leaders, will be able to enter.” He also argued that “we don’t want meetings of family or friends under the pretext of watching football. Football should not be transformed into a call for increased contagion.” On the sanitary measures within the sports coliseums, the seremi Paula Labra detailed that “the players on the bench and all the people who are going to be inside the stadium must make use of the mask at all times”. Finally, the president of Black and White, Hannibal Mosa, asked the “albos” fans to “do not come to the stadium, because we would not want to have situations outside the pitch. In this white march we want everyone to help us and we are open to all the necessary improvements.” It should be remembered that Colo Colo will receive Santiago Wanderers this Saturday at 13:30 hours at the Estadio Monumental, in a duel pending on the 8th date of the National Championship.
