In addition to discussions about contact restrictions and a possible vaccination requirement were also “supraregional sports, cultural and comparable major events” Topic at the Prime Minister’s Conference convened on Tuesday (December 21, 2021) in view of the threat posed by the Omikron variant.
Halls and stadiums completely without fans
In the early evening, Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced what had already been suggested on Monday: those major events will take place from December 28th without spectators. For German professional sport, this means that, for the time being, no fans will be allowed in the halls or in the stadiums across the country. For the clubs and leagues, which were already financially heavily burdened during the corona crisis, this in turn means enormous losses in sales. The situation is to be reassessed in the first week of January.
