Event in Košice. Everyone vaccinated over the age of 50 will receive two hockey tickets – Korzár Košice

KOŠICE. The Košice self-governing region and HC Košice join forces to help increase vaccination people over 50 years of age. Every fan over the age of 50 who comes to be vaccinated at the Steel Arena on November 6 will receive two tickets to the home game. Anna Terezková, a spokeswoman for the KSK chairman, informed about it.

If the number of people vaccinated rises to 65 percent in the over-50 age group, the color of the district may change one degree lower. This means that the district could avoid black paint and the strictest measures due to high vaccination.

“At the end of October, almost 60 percent of the population over the age of 50 were vaccinated in the Košice Region, specifically 63.2 percent in Košice. Only a few dozen vaccinated vaccines are missing to reach the limit, thanks to which Košice would no longer get black. Together with HC Košice, we want to motivate the Easterners to be vaccinated with two tickets to the home matches of this hockey club. They can be obtained free of charge by people over the age of 50 who come to be vaccinated at the Steel Arena in Košice on Saturday, November 6, “said Rastislav Trnka (independent), chairman of the Košice self-governing region.

In black, almost no spectators

Vaccination rates in the region will also play a crucial role in organizing sporting events. When determining the color of the districts, priority will be given to the joker, who, thanks to the high vaccination coverage, breaks the rules that apply when the situation worsens.

“Thanks to the joker, we would hockey the matches could almost certainly have taken place in front of the currently approved spectator backdrop, ie in front of 2,000 spectators. Currently, burgundy Košice is in danger of moving to the black zone, which would mean reducing the stadium’s capacity to almost zero and limiting the youth training process, and certainly none of us want that. Hockey without spectators loses its atmosphere, I believe that together we will be able to keep stadiums open, “added Klíma.
