Graça Freitas, Director General of Health (DGS), spoke about Belenenses SAD-Benfica on Saturday, assuring that the DGS has no powers to postpone or suspend the game, which is a competence of those who organize them.
“I want to make it clear: the Health authorities are only responsible for epidemiological investigation and then take a decision on who is sick, who is a risk contact and isolates these people; then what happens in sporting terms is with sport, health does only the investigation, identification, testing and isolation according to the risk assessment. Then what happens is with the sports entities, it is not up to the DGS to decide whether a game is played or not», he said in statements to SIC Notícias.
