I'm going but also want the decision taken out of my hands really. Personally think it should be called off.

I had voted that I was going but based on events here in Malta, I will not be coming.
The concern is that maybe Malta will extend the ban on incoming flights from the current 5 countries to the UK and we will be stuck in a hotel in the UK for 14 days.
I had booked and paid for flights, 3 hotels and car hire and doubtful of any refunds unless the UK government bans visits or football matches are behind closed doors or postponed.
Lost a lot of money but health and possible infecting others is more important.

Feel the same. So many conflicting messages today

I am still travelling on the tube and delivering training etc at work and I think these activities are riskier than sitting in a crowd in an open air venue, so I'm still going on Saturday. If I get any symptoms I will immediately self-isolate.

not really as its an ongoing situation, which is more a tickle than a continuous cough.

Why, the press conference after the COBRA meeting was very clear for the rationale for not banning large events currently.
But if you think it should be called off, then I suggest you stay at home and self isolate for a few months until the Government tell you that virus no longer posses any danger

But,from what we are told, you can pass on the virus before you have symptons.
This is why we are cancelling our trip at a loss of approx €1000.
It maybe ok within the stadium but what about trains, buses to and from?
We were also concerned that Malta, which has reacted with much more restrictive regulations may stop incoming flights from the UK as they already have from Italy, Spain, France, Germany and Switzerland.
