The Minister of Health, Thanos Plevris met with the president of the Super League, George Borovilos, to discuss the reduction of the presence of fans by 10% and a maximum of one thousand, a measure that is valid from today, Thursday (30/12) until 16 January, along with everything else announced by the government in an effort to limit the spread of the “Omicron” mutation in the coronavirus. The Minister of Health, in his statements to the press, during his speech, explained that “the fans will have to be patient this fortnight”, but promised to reconsider the increase of the fans in the stadiums after January 16, if it allows the epidemiological situation of the country. Specifically, Thanos Plevris stressed: “The government will implement the ministerial decision for this first fortnight. We are predominantly monitoring the epidemiological situation in the country … but we are examining the extent to which the epidemiological picture of the country allows for a change in the immediate future. After 16/1. “I think the League has a framework of realistic proposals.”
For his part, the president of the Super League, George Borovilos, explained after the meeting with the Minister of Health, Thanos Plevris: . The first thing we are interested in is human health … the next fortnight we will be in close contact in order to see in what context we will move, so that these real conflicting problems can be overcome “.
The Minister of Health, Thanos Plevris, stated in detail:
“The health situation of our country forced us to take some restrictive measures. We understand that there is great difficulty especially in the operation of football and the Super League because the attendance is more massive. We understand that there is a problem with the operation. What we discussed is that the government will implement the ministerial decision for this first fortnight. We are mainly monitoring the epidemiological situation in the country.
However, because there were specific proposals from the Super League for the operation of the protocol that will be followed and the measures and at the same time the championship process can work as smoothly as possible, for my part I promised to take these proposals In the next period, we will work on them together with the co-responsible deputy minister, Lefteris Avgenakis, in order to have a specific framework. And if the epidemiological situation of the country allows it at that time, our will is to reopen the stadiums in a way that will protect public health, but accordingly the championship process can work.
So we think that the fans should be patient this fortnight. The image of the country is very important at the epidemiological level, but there are indeed positive approaches from the League that a protocol can be implemented for both vaccinated and with the observance of health measures and with specific capacities that will be more realistic. We are waiting for the specific proposal from the League, the remarks will be made and we will definitely process them within this 15 days. But to be completely honest on the part of the government in this context of implementing the restrictive measures there will be no change, but we are looking at the extent to which the epidemiological picture of the country allows it to exist in the immediate future. After 16/1. “I think the League has a framework of realistic proposals.”
The president of the Super League, George Borovilos pointed out:
“Mr. Plevris agreed to have this meeting in order to see the problem that arose with the presence of 10% and the 1000 fans in the ceiling. There was a constructive discussion. Football has shown that it respects the protocol and those who do not know it should know that only vaccinated people enter the stadiums now. The first thing we are interested in is human health. We have proved it in the two years that the pandemic has existed, but our fans, who were vaccinated and legally “closed” the season tickets to watch their favorite team, are also objectively facing problems. So we take into account the situation, the course of the pandemic, but also the problem that has been created, in the next fortnight we will be in close contact in order to see in what context we will move, so that these real conflicting problems can be overcome “.
