Italian prime minister Giuseppe Conte has announced that Serie A is suspended indefinitely as the country continues to struggle to contain the spread of Covid-19.
With latest figures revealing 463 people had died from coronavirus from a total of 9,172 infections, the Italian government has put the country in lockdown.
The measures, which had already been in place in Italy’s north, include banning public gatherings and restricting all movement other than for work and emergency services.
Serie A has had several matches recently behind closed doors, including the Derby D’Italia between Juventus and Inter, but the new restrictions will make the competition impossible to continue.
