In addition, the next two matchdays of LaLiga will also go ahead inside empty stadiums, with the club announcing that they are taking six measures against the virus.
- For the next two weeks, all professional, youth and amateur games involving the club will take place behind closed doors, with all ticket holders to receive refunds.
- The Barça Academy World Cup tournament, which includes events in China, Japan, Jordan, Dubai and Kuwait to be played in Easter Week, has been cancelled.
- All planned trips outside the city for youth teams for various tournaments and friendlies in the months of March and April have been cancelled.
- All activities to take place at the Camp Nou for the 22 March fixture against Leganes have been cancelled. They include photo calls, mascot meetings and supporters’ club events.
- Barça Foundation events are also limited. The Bekaa festival, outreach programme for schools in Lebanon, Solidària Masia events and local hospital visits have all been stopped for the time being.
- Internally, the rest of the club’s activities will continue as normal after all Barcelona staff were given an informative session on preventative hygiene measures. Any work-related travel has also been curtailed unless absolutely essential.
The Blaugrana’s next game takes place away to Mallorca in the league in front of no supporters.
