The weekend’s Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 matches are “maintained at the present time,” the Professional Football League confirmed to AFP on Saturday shortly before 4 p.m., following government announcements regarding the intensification of the epidemic caused by the new coronavirus. "We are in constant contact with the authorities," said the LFP, indicating that the weekend meetings, starting with that of Paris SG against Dijon scheduled for Saturday at 5.30 pm at the Parc des Princes, were "maintained at actual hour". Sunday, more than 60,000 people are expected for the derby against Saint-Etienne. The Minister of Health, Olivier Véran, announced on Saturday that the weekend's Ligue 1 matches were not affected by the measures taken by the government, which ordered the cancellation of all "rallies of more than 5,000 people ”in a closed environment and certain outdoor events, such as the Paris half-marathon scheduled for Sunday.
