The Risk of corona increased from Euro 2020! [TKB World]

Fans painted the whole of London red and white as Britain waved its victory over Denmark in the semi-finals of UEFA Euro 2020. England beat Denmark 2-1 in the match played at Wembley Stadium (London) on 7 July, ending the shock of their 2018 semi-final defeat at the hands of Croatia. England has managed to make it to the finals of a major tournament after 55 years. However, the enthusiasm of this victory has increased the threat of Covid.

Due to the Corona restrictions in Wembley Stadium with a capacity of 90 thousand spectators, only 60 thousand spectators were arranged for seating. As soon as England made it to the semi-finals by registering a win against Ukraine, the stadium tickets became expensive. Many people could not afford tickets, but no one could stop the gathering of people in different parts of the country.

As Euro 2020 nears its conclusion and the crowds of fans watching the match swell, concerns about the corona infection have increased significantly. The Delta variant is already working to increase the cases of corona infection in Europe. During Euro 2020, both London and St. Petersburg have been greatly affected by the Delta variant of Corona.

Expressing concern over this, epidemiologist Antoine Flahault said that we are working to spread the delta variant across Europe through this route. The quarterfinal match was held in St. Petersburg amid rising cases and deaths from Corona across Russia. Now like both the semi-finals, the final match will also be played in London, where about 60 thousand people will sit together and watch the match.

The cases of Delta variants in the UK are progressing at a fast pace. Despite this, such a lax attitude of the administration can lead to greater danger. In the match played between England and Germany, about 42,000 people were sitting together at Wembley Stadium and many such pictures were also revealed where the spectators were not even wearing masks.

There is a lot of enthusiasm among the audience that England’s team will create history in the final of Euro Cup in front of their own fans. In this regard, Flahault also suggested shifting the matches in Wembley (London) to some other place.

Flahault, director of the Institute of Global Health at the University of Geneva, said that scheduling all these matches in cities less affected by Corona is not a difficult task. These matches should be in such a place where the risk of corona is not very high.

WHO’s senior emergency officer in Europe, Catherine Smallwood, had also raised questions about this. He had asked how are people reaching there? Are they traveling in a bus full of people? Is everyone following the guidelines related to Covid during this time? He said that due to the gathering of people in this way, the transmission of the virus will increase further.

Danish officials said three fans were infected with the Delta variant during the match against Belgium in Copenhagen, prompting 4,000 fans to get tested. Apart from this, Finland’s health authorities also found infected about 100 people who had come to support their team against Russia in St.

English fans are not alone preparing for the celebration of Euro 2020 final in London. Fans who came from about 270 countries and spoke 300 languages ​​are also present here. These are the people who not only live here, but also call Britain their home. Two Romania fans were very happy with England’s victory in the semi-finals. ‘It is coming home’ is also trending a lot on the internet. Two fans of England had also got slogans written on their faces with paint. With all these things, the fan’s passion for the Euro Cup final can be clearly understood.
