They've just sent an email out about the precautions ahead of the Derby.

Everton Football Club takes supporter safety and its duty of care to anyone attending a fixture or event at Goodison Park very seriously. Therefore, we are closely monitoring the development of the current coronavirus, or Covid-19 outbreak.

Ahead of the Merseyside derby on Monday 16 March, we would like to remind all supporters of their own duty of care and to help prevent the spread of the virus.

England’s Chief Medical Officer raised the risk of the virus to the public from low to moderate. The Club is committed to stopping the spread of the virus and as a result we are taking positive steps to reduce any risk to anyone attending or working at the game. Club officials have already taken measures to educate staff on best practices to prevent the virus spreading, spotting symptoms and other general guidance.

If you are planning to attend the match and have travelled to or from any of the below countries or regions in the last month or if you are experiencing cold and flu symptoms; particularly a cough, high temperature or shortness of breath, please carefully consider your plans to attend the match and the impact your attendance could have on others.
  • Cambodia
  • China
  • Hong Kong
  • Iran
  • Italy – only northern Italy (anywhere north of Pisa, Florence and Rimini)
  • Japan
  • Laos
  • Macau
  • Malaysia
  • Myanmar (Burma)
  • Singapore
  • South Korea
  • Taiwan
  • Tenerife – only the H10 Costa Adeje Palace Hotel
  • Thailand
  • Vietnam
If you have any concerns, think you have symptoms of the coronavirus or believe you may have been exposed to the virus when travelling, please seek medical advice from the NHS helpline on 111 (from the UK) or click here.

To help minimise the risk of the virus spreading please keep a heightened sense of personal hygiene at all times. The UK Government and NHS have issued the following guidance:
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing
    • If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the bin
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth
  • Stay home if you are feeling unwell
Fixtures in the Premier League are currently unaffected and the Club will continue to take guidance from the Premier League, UK Government, NHS and World Health Organisation.

Further updates will be provided should there be any changes to the current situation.

Surely they HAVE to play out the entirety of the rest of the season behind closed doors, or they cancel everything, no relegation/champions in any league and restart next season. They cannot just award champions/promotions/relegation based on where things are at now or in 3 weeks time, that's grossly unfair.

The rs will be champions though. That will absolutely be made to happen even if the season ends early. The cringey FKW biffs.

I read that as saying that any Blues who think they've been exposed to the virus, will be moved to seats in the away end.
