“There are measures that require maximum responsibility, I say this to the world of football,” Di Maio said according to Tuttomercatoweb. “I express my support of Minister Spadafora, who is currently trying to convince the whole world of football that it’s better not to play.
“Bacause if there are positive players, they can infect others and, returning home, they can infect other citizens.”
