A leading World Health Organization epidemiologist says it was “devastating” to see crowds at Wembley enjoying the European Championships final without wearing face masks.
Around 66,000 fans gathered inside the stadium to see Italy defeat England on penalties on Sunday night.
Maria Van Kerkhove expressed her disgust that supporters were able to enjoy the match unmasked, despite it being outdoors and within existing COVID-19 rules for masks to not be required.
“Am I supposed to be enjoying watching transmission happening in front of my eyes?” tweeted Van Kerkhove.
