German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer (pictured)
called a decision by European soccer s governing body UEFA to allow big crowds at Euro 2020 utterly irresponsible especially given the spread of the Delta variant of the coronavirus,
writes Emma Thomasson, Reuters.
Seehofer told a news conference that UEFA appeared to have been driven by commercial considerations, which he said should not rank above health concerns.
He said it was inevitable that a match with 60,000 spectators - the number UEFA will allow at London s Wembley stadium for the Euro 2020 semifinals and final - would promote the spread of COVID-19, especially given the Delta variant.

This flowing copperplate script with red and white colours is a logo that is recognisable around the world. Its success is due to Asa Candler, whose primary motivation in all he attempted was to be faithful to God through his stewardship.
Asa Candler was a very rich man who was successful in real estate development and banking. He faithfully embraced the principle of Christian stewardship. His belief was that God gives wealth to individuals in order to promote His kingdom on earth. His inspiration was from Jesus’ teaching about not storing up treasures on earth that can be stolen or lost but storing up treasures in heaven where they will never be stolen or lost. This inspiration led him to support many Christian endeavours, including the training of young men and women in the teachings of Jesus.
