The Canton of Jura goes further and, like the Canton of Valais, prohibits all contact and team sports, with the exception of professional sports, excluding the public and individual training. The measures apply until November 15. For the Ajoie ice hockey club of the Swiss League, this means that the next home games must be played without spectators.
The cantons of Aargau, Solothurn, St. Gallen and Ticino are currently taking a different approach. There, spectators are provisionally admitted, taking into account the protection concepts in force as of October 1. Large events with more than 1000 spectators are also allowed in the canton of Zurich, as announced on Friday by the Zurich Governing Council. However, the concepts of safety and security are being revised again.
This means that the football clubs FC Zürich (Super League), Grasshoppers and FC Winterthur (both Challenge League), as well as the ice hockey clubs ZSC Lions (National League), EHC Kloten, EHC Winterthur and GCK Lions (all Swiss League) can continue to play home games with two-thirds of the stadium’s capacity. deny.
Information on new measures to combat the coronavirus pandemic in the canton of Vaud is also expected on Friday.
The tightening of large-scale events decided by individual cantons does not currently have any impact on the operations of matches in the Superliga or the National League, the two most important Swiss soccer and ice hockey leagues.
Claudius Schäfer, CEO of the Swiss Football League, said Wednesday in an interview with the Keystone-SDA news agency: “We are in a difficult situation. But for now I say clearly: ‘We will continue playing!’ »The Swiss Hockey League has decided to continue the championship until at least 2 November. (sda)
