Abstract

Anecdotal evidence suggests that football matches may have played a role in the spread of COVID-19 all over Europe. Nevertheless, from a scientific point of view, the impact of football matches on the spread of COVID-19 remains unclear. In this paper we study, via a quantitative analysis, the case of Italy, a country badly affected by COVID, and one where attending football matches is very popular. We consider the impact of matches played in January and February 2020 on the dynamic of the pandemic in March and April the same year. Our results, which consider all levels of Italian professional football, and the highest level of amateur football, show that matches played in January and February had an impact on the evolution of the pandemic in March and April. These results suggest that great care must be taken before considering re-opening stadia.

坊间证据表明，足球比赛可能在COVID-19在整个欧洲的传播中发挥了作用。然而，从科学的角度来看，足球比赛对COVID-19传播的影响仍不清楚。在本文中，我们通过定量分析研究了意大利的情况，意大利是一个受COVID影响严重的国家，也是一个非常受欢迎的足球比赛。我们考虑2020年1月和2月的比赛对同年3月和4月大流行动态的影响。我们的结果考虑了意大利所有级别的职业足球和最高水平的业余足球，结果表明，1月和2月的比赛对3月和4月大流行的演变产生了影响。这些结果表明，在考虑重新开放体育场之前必须非常小心。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
