The stands with audiences that are beginning to be seen in Europe – and that are seen in the Copa America that is being played in Brazil – could soon be replicated in Argentina. This was pointed out by the Minister of Tourism and Sports, Matías Lammens. “If the current rate of vaccination is maintained, we may be able to have people in the stadiums by the last quarter of the year,” the official said. However, the minister clarified that, for now, this is only a possibility and that nothing has yet been confirmed: “I imagine a beginning with a reduced capacity and then incorporating people. I don’t want to confirm anything we can’t meet yet, but maybe it’s the last quarter.”

The last match with fans present in Argentina took place on March 10 last year, a day before the World Health Organization (WHO) declared SARS-CoV-2 a pandemic found for the first time in China.On the other hand, Lammens considered a “success” the suspension of the Copa America in Argentina, which , weeks ago, I was at the peak of the second wave of coronavirus.” If we ask them to stay at home, we suspend classes because of the increase in coronavirus cases, organizing such a tournament, beyond the fact that we know the low risk, was not sensible,” he explained. With regard to argentina’s trips to Brazil, back and forth after the game, if all the protocols are respected we should not have contagions and complications,” he said.
