Coronavirus: ÚLK reacts harshly to new measures – ŠPORT.sk

“We’re in the beginning, we haven’t moved anywhere, we haven’t learned anything and we’re repeating old familiar clichés that have been heard many times during the pandemic. Does the sport get another hard blow. Is it recovering? it will definitely be a KO not only for professional sports in Slovakia Chaos, illogical decisions, anger, sadness, apathy …

Sport has long been at the tail of interest of state officials, and the current situation is a mirror of that. As of Monday, there can be a maximum of 200 fans in the red districts and 100 in the burgundy districts at mass sports events, just vaccinated or overcome. What was true yesterday is different today. The conceptual solution that the Covid automaton was supposed to set up, taking into account the current situation or vaccination, is no longer valid today. Not one, but a thousand steps back. It doesn’t matter if it is a closed hall, a church or an open huge stadium. 200 people and a dot. If we are specific, from the original 100% capacity for the vaccinated, we have reached 200 or 100 vaccinated or overcrowded people. No percentage limit, no consideration of huge open space, no sectorization, no benefits for the vaccinated. Without any logic, reason. No information about tracing positive contacts from football matches, no information about the risk of mass events in the exterior or interior.

Be careful, no one here eases the current situation, we all understand the demands of the current situation. Hospitals are filling up, the number of sick people is increasing. We have called for responsibility and adherence to the measures from the beginning, and we are calling for this now, and we are adding vaccination. Vaccination is proving to be the answer to the unbearable burden in hospitals. Today, more than 85% of professional players are vaccinated, which is also our public message. Nobody wants to have full stadiums here, let’s face it, this is not even possible in the current situation.

However, we feel guilty about the decision that was made. It is illogical, unconceptual and sport-threatening for us. We have long fought for measures that are in line with logical arguments. The current outcome of the situation again lacks logic, it seems to be a short-circuit decision based on the current crisis situation, which was, however, preventable.

Again, sport seems to be the bad thing that can lead to the current bad situation, and it needs to be dealt with again, knocked to its knees, and waiting for it to be collected, and if at all. “
