It is over to greet nicely on each other with a handshake before matches in the Premier League going in time.

the League has decided to ban both the players, coaches and officials to greet each other with handshake, as is customary, in order to minimize the risk of infection with the coronavirus. It writes the Premier League on its website.

the Teams must still stand up and listen to the Premier League anthem, but instead to wish each other a good match with a handshake, the home team walk past the away team without having to have physical contact.

the Measure comes after advice from doctors.

Coronaviruses are spread via droplets from the nose and mouth and can be transmitted to the hands and headed on through a handshake, writes the league.

the Virus has so far infected the 95,000 people worldwide. More than 3200 have died as a result of the virus, while 53.000 become healthy again.
