The illness continues to wreak havoc on the country's football schedule, but more calls have been made to prioritise public safety
The president of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has said that the governing body cannot rule out the possibility of suspending the entire season if a top-flight player were to test positive for the Coronavirus strain COVID-19.
Fears of the illness spreading unnecessarily have hit Italian football hard, with six matches being postponed last week – including Juventus' top-of-the-table clash with Inter – and rescheduled to Sunday, March 8.
Since then, Italian authorities have issued a government decree that states all sporting events must be played behind closed doors until at least April 3, but FIGC president Gabriele Gravina admits that the situation could worsen still, with the proposition of a full suspension not out of the question.
