Italy's government decided on Monday to suspend all sports events in Italy, including all matches in Serie A, until April 3.

In a press conference, the country's prime minister Giuseppe Conte announced the suspension of all sports events in the European state, but the decision will not be implemented on the Italian clubs or national teams participating in international competitions.

The virus spread across Italy with over 7,000 confirmed cases and more than 450 deaths.

Italy had taken many precautionary measures before as it suspended the schools and all crowded events in the country.

It also banned anyone from entering or leaving the European country.

It is worth mentioning that Juventus crushed ambitious rivals Inter Milan 2-0 in a Serie A match, which was played behind the closed doors over the coronavirus concerns.

Midfielder Ramsey fired home the first goal from close range soon after the break and was also involved in the second. Juventus’s Argentine forward Dybala exchanged passes with the Wales international on the edge of the area before dribbling around defender Ashley Young and showing great invention to find the bottom corner of the net.

Ronaldo aimed to make his mark on his 1,000th official game as he chased a Serie A record of scoring in 12 straight games.
