THE SCAN SPORT - Scheduled Sunday in the streets of Paris, the capital's half-marathon was canceled following a decision by the Ministry of Health.


Panic is gaining ground. And precautions are becoming more numerous. All “gatherings of more than 5,000 people” in a closed environment and certain outdoor events, such as the Paris half-marathon on Sunday, will be canceled in France in the face of the intensification of the epidemic caused by the new coronavirus, announced the government on Saturday. These measures, taken during a Defense Council and an exceptional Council of Ministers, also lead to canceling the last day of the Agricultural Show Sunday in Paris, said the Minister of Health Olivier Véran, who said that 16 new cases had been confirmed in the country compared to Friday evening, 73 in total since the end of January. What about Top 14 Racing matches with La Défense-Arena which is not an open stadium? Racing leaders, whose club faces La Rochelle this Saturday, would be worried about the continuation of operations in the coming weeks.
