Update from 6:21 pm: Bavaria is taking action in the corona crisis and wants to ban all events with more than 1,000 participants. Games of all major football clubs must then be played without an audience. According to information from our editorial team, the cabinet wants to decide on Tuesday morning. The ban is initially valid for four weeks, i.e. until shortly before Easter. So far, Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn (CDU) has only asked for cancellations.
“We will ban events with over 1000 guests over the next four weeks. This also applies to the Bundesliga games, ”said the free voters after a meeting of the coalition committee in the evening in the State Chancellery. There should be a catalog of criteria among 999 participants, according to which the organizers can decide on cancellations themselves. For the time being, nothing will change for the schools. According to information from the state government, no comprehensive school closure is planned in Bavaria.
The most drastic effects of the political decision are likely to affect the sport - the Bundesliga, but also the Bayern Munich Champions League game against Chelsea on March 18. “Ghost games” had already been feared in the Bundesliga. The managing director of the German Football League, Christian Seifert, said he wanted to “play the next matchday with spectators. Unfortunately, this is not realistic ”.
