Inter sampdorias serie a clash postponed as preventative measure against spread of coronavirus
You're referring to the recent news about the Inter Milan vs. Sampdoria Serie A match being postponed due to concerns over the spread of the coronavirus.
Yes, that's correct. On February 29, 2020, the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) announced that the Serie A match between Inter Milan and Sampdoria, which was scheduled to take place on March 8, 2020, would be postponed as a precautionary measure to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
This decision was made after a Sampdoria player, Manolo Gabbiadini, tested positive for the virus, and several other players from both teams had been in close contact with him. The FIGC decided to take a cautious approach to ensure the health and safety of all players, staff, and spectators involved in the match.
This was not the only Serie A match to be postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak. Several other matches were also delayed or cancelled in the following weeks, as the situation continued to evolve.
It's worth noting that the Italian government has taken a number of measures to try to contain the spread of the virus, including restricting travel and gatherings, and implementing strict quarantine measures for those who have been infected or are at high risk of infection.
