Kyiv authorities are planning to propose that the organizers of a Champions League match between Dynamo Kyiv and Inter Milan, which is to be held in Kyiv on November 4, hold the match in an empty stadium in order to prevent the spread of flu among fans.

"Draft an address so that spectators don’t come to the stadium. A television broadcast is better for them than gathering at the stadium," Kyiv Mayor Leonid Chernovetsky said at a meeting of the operations headquarters of the city’s emergency and anti-epidemiological commission on Monday.

"I think it would be humane if the rules of quarantine are not violated," he said.

However, Dynamo spokesman Mykola Neseniuk said that over 90% of the tickets for this match had been sold as of Monday.

"There are around 5-6% of the tickets left at ticket desks," he said.

Neseniuk said that the question of safety measures due to the epidemiological situation in Ukraine would be discussed at a special meeting with UEFA representatives on Tuesday.

"Gauze masks might be issued to fans," he said.
