German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced on Tuesday that all sporting events held in Germany starting on December 28 will be behind closed doors in an attempt to stop the advance of covid-19 cases, especially related to the Omicron variant.
The measure should remain in force for the resumption of the Bundesliga, on January 7 after the winter break in order to "slow the spread of the virus", declared the chancellor at the end of a crisis meeting with the representatives of the regions.
