Officials have gone a step further in preventing England fans from seeing the Euro 2020 quarter-final match against Ukraine in Rome this weekend, telling supporters who have recently arrived in Italy that they won’t be allowed in the stadium – even if they have a ticket. Sky News has the story.
A statement issued by the Italian Embassy in London on Thursday said that due to current coronavirus restrictions in the country, “anybody who has been in the U.K. in the previous 14 days, irrespective of their nationality or residency, will not be admitted to the stadium, even if they have a ticket”.
Italy is on the U.K.’s “Amber List”, and all U.K. arrivals in Italy currently have to isolate for five days.
The statement continued: “Only those who can prove that they have arrived in Italy at least six days previously, have observed five days of quarantine, and have taken a post-quarantine Covid test with a negative result will be allowed into the Stadio Olimpico.
“Being exempt from quarantine in Italy for any legal reason, will not translate into permission to enter the stadium. For example, travellers who are transiting through Italy for less than 36 hours or visiting briefly for work reasons are not required to quarantine, but they will not be permitted to enter the stadium.”
Anyone found to be not in quarantine “will be punished”, officials said.
“Fans based in the U.K. should therefore not travel to Italy to attend the match on Saturday at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome,” they added. …
The fresh travel warning comes after the FA said on Wednesday that it “will not be selling any tickets via the England Supporters Travel Club for this fixture” due to U.K. and Italian travel restrictions.

It’s never been that clear to me what “covid” is – a ragbag of symptoms that evolved over time, much like many other vague illnesses, and a “test” that was suspiciously rushed out, forced on people and used for political purposes with little consistency of criteria. So I am equally unclear what “Long Covid” is – how do you tell if you “have” “it”? I guess if you have a “viral illness” sometimes you don’t fully recover immediately but the effects can drag on for some time – I believe that’s a known phenomenon – let’s call it “Long Flu”. Does “Long Covid” differ from “Long Flu” in its effects? How “long” is “long”? How prevalent is “Long Flu”? Is “Long Covid” more or less prevalent or debilitating than “Long Flu”? I can quite believe that these “vaccines” make people less healthy, but without answers to some or all of my questions, I can’t attach any significance to talk of “Long Covid”.
Post viral fatigue, Yuppie Flu, etc. were some of the names for it.
Indeed – they may well be a “thing” but if “long covid” hasn’t really added to the prevalence, length or severity of “post viral fatigue” in the same way that “covid” wasn’t much more than a bad flu season, why do we care about “long covid” or even give this particular form of “post viral fatigue” a special name?
Well I test positive for ‘Long Over Covid’ because I’m well and truly long over it, I tell you.
In fact, I’m trying to envisage a time in the near future when the dratted C word will no longer be a part of every day parlance, as far as the stupid press go anyway. Nobody I know even mentions the word anymore, to be honest.
I also want to fast-forward to a time when the word “lockdown” is once again only ever mentioned in the context of prisons.
Lol.
Until recently it was rarely mentioned in my presence, but as I stated elsewhere Christmas seems to have caused a Pavlovian bout of covidians testing themselves.
Long Covid is more likely an excuse for staying at home having hand outs from the government. The very same people who loved being locked up in their houses while on furlough
‘Long’ – scary viruses living forever – waiting to attack you.
Long smallpox.
Long polio.
Long syphillis.
Long STD.
Longest stupid.
Ah, Long Covid.
Mainly suffered by Guardian readers.
Stop reading the thing and, voila, you will become healed.
IMHO, one of the key questions should be whether or not said apparent sufferers read the Guardian or not.
Mass psychosis at its finest.
You can get a dose of it way higher than normal exposure through shedding. I never took the vax obviously but I have had persistent illness ever since 2021. Might be other environmental factors but I developed huge overnight sores in my mouth so extreme that two of my erstwhile health teeth fell out. And the attack on my mouth was immensely painful like a huge gaping wound. Similar sort of tissue in the upper palate as the heart and Mr Spike has a predilection for it. I can forgive the vaxxed for this. The masses never know what they do. The overlords are a different matter entirely of course.
It sounds odd but some of the more damaging effects of this pathogen can be stopped by tricyclic antidepressants. Just google it if you are interested. I used that method with remarkable success. 30 mg of dothiepin stopped the attack and the pain and the further assault. This strange interaction has been noted and studied if you look it up.
