Results of PCR (Polymerase chain reaction) tests will serve as the ground for admittance volume of spectators for matches of the 2020 UEFA Euro Cup matches this summer, Alexei Sorokin, the head of the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) Russia-2020, said on Wednesday, TASS reports.
Sorokin announced earlier that the Local Organizing Committee and the municipal authorities of Saint Petersburg agreed to allow a 50-percent audience turnout from the total capacity of the stadium during the games of the European football championship in Russia’s second-largest city.
"We have a governmental decree, which regulates the process of foreign visitors’ arrival, and changes are currently under consideration in regard to this decree," Sorokin said. "As soon as this process is over, we will be able to announce all details of foreign visitors’ arrival."
The Russian football official said that the Union of European Football Federations (UEFA) "is relying more on results of PCR tests if compared to the vaccination [statistics]."
