As Zalgiris prepares for the EuroLeague Round 26 face-off against AX Armani Exchange Milan, the club will be taking extra precautions in addition to the recommendations, to ensure the health of the spectators.

To ensure that all incoming visitors would be checked, the main entrances will have tents with thermovisors, that will check the body temperature of the fans. If they register a higher than normal body temperature, the individual will be checked individually, and if results show, they will not be allowed into Zalgirio Arena.

Zalgiris also shares the information and recommendations provided by the Extreme situations operations center in the Ministry of Health in Lithuanian, English and Italian. These recommendations have been sent out to the Milano AX Armani club, which was asked to share with their team’s fans.

According to the recommendations, additional spots to disinfect your hands will be installed in Zalgirio Arena near the entrances and strategic locations. You will also have the possibility to wash your hands with soap in the bathrooms. Disinfection of other surfaces, such as door handles, stair railings, will also be increased.

According to the Ministry of Health, the coronavirus can be passed on from person to person. The virus spreads through air, with sneezing, coughing or breathing out. While people usually are contagious only when the symptoms are visible, it is presumed that some people might be able to pass the virus before the show of the symptoms.

Visitors are asked to take into account possible symptoms – fever, coughing, lack of breath and other breathing issues, muscle pains or increased fatigue. If you have any of these symptoms, you are recommended to restrain from interacting with surrounding people and to contact the helpline 112.
