While Scotland allowed up to 500 spectators, Wales has banned fans from fully participating in professional sporting events. For now, the supporter-like Welsh federation is awaiting a decision whether the Principality Stadium will host the public for matches against Scotland on 12 February, France on 11 March and Italy on 19 March. Next week, it will be three weeks since these measures were taken. ,If we’re lucky enough – and it’s huge – and find that we’ve passed the peak and are making a credible reduction in the impact of the coronavirus on us, we’ll see what we do. to lift some of the security systems that we had to set up“, commented Welsh Prime Minister Mark Drakeford.

A measure that can be lifted by January 30, or just before a trip to Dublin for Wales on 5 February.
