Abstract

Introduction: Mass gatherings such as sports events are potential causes for the rapid spread of COVID-19 infection. Millions of soccer fans travel across Europe every week. With the world's most popular leagues continuing play until the second week of March 2020, we hypothesize that a correlation exists between the number of people attending the soccer league games in Spain, Italy, France, Germany, and the UK and the increasing number of cases of COVID-19 in these countries during the ongoing epidemic.
