Coronavirus: Belgian clubs DELAY vote to decide whether they will cancel the season amid covid-19

Belgian clubs have delayed a vote determining whether the season will be cancelled amid the coronavirus crisis as officials wait to see whether lockdown restrictions are relaxed in the country.

All 24 Belgian Pro League clubs had been set to confirm the premature ending of the season as a result of the spread of the deadly disease. In such a situation, Club Brugge would have been crowned champions. 

However, a vote on such a decision has been delayed until May 4, as Belgian sport anticipates the possible relaxation of lockdown measures in the country, raising the possibility that games may be playable.

Belgium was the very first country in Europe to call a halt to the remainder of the season, after the Pro League stepped in to call off proceedings.

The decision to withhold from voting comes after Dutch football decided to call off the season due to the coronavirus.

The Eredivisie has been cancelled with immediate effect, meaning that Ajax have been denied the league title, while promotions and relegations will not take place. 

The agreement came via video conference between the Dutch FA and all clubs. Alan Pardew’s ADO Den Haag will stay up as a result, despite being seven points adrift from safety.

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man.

The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

Disabled people are still vulnerable, even as COVID-19 normalizes their ‘special’ needs NewsColony Perhaps it’s appropriate that public notices of the COVID-19 crisis began as an ableist cruelty. Health officials assured the nation that only the elderly and those with chronic health conditions would be seriously affected; most Americans (i.e., the normal people) would have only mild symptoms and be fine. x A friendly reminder: people who will be high-risk patients if we get coronavirus can hear you when you reassure everyone we’re the only ones who might die. — Alexandra Brodsky (@azbrodsky) February 29, 2020 Soon after the announcement of those assurances, the likelihood of high-risk people surviving was further limited by the people more likely to be fine.
