This year’s Italian Open tennis tournament in Rome will have a 25% capacity crowd from the last-16 stage onwards, Sports Undersecretary Valentina Vezzali said on Tuesday.
The May 8-16 event will feature COVID-19 precautions such as social distancing, face masks, and sanitizers.
“It is the responsibility of the local health authorities to define the details of the operational aspects useful for a better implementation of the measures for the prevention and containment of the infection,” Vezzali said in the statement.
