In an unprecedented move, the Italian Prime Minister suspended all sporting events in the Lombardy and Veneto regions due to the Coronavirus scare, including Sunday’s Inter-Sampdoria, Verona-Cagliari and Atalanta-Sassuolo matches in the Serie A, Football Italia reported.
The announcement was made by PM Giuseppe Conte in a very late press conference on Saturday evening.
It had already been announced on Saturday that 42 matches in the amateur and youth leagues had been called off, while Serie B fixture Ascoli v Cremonese was also postponed.
