Hi folks / ED
people are posting that France is going into a FULL LOCKDOWN on friday
Should Celtic be travelling for the game on thursday?

{Ed002's Note - Although lots of players have been contracting the virus the authorities are happy to provide them an exemption.}

That is really worrying and I would think after what happened during and after the International Break, the players should not be risked.
Governments have tried several ways to control this and failed, while Football Associations are not receiving any protection or sensible advice from UEFA/ FIFA regarding travel risks and dangers.
I can see this country going into full-lockdown soon as well, because all these regional rules and restrictions are having zero benefit.

Not sure they are having zero effect as the rate of C.V. has slowed and i am sure it would be much better if everyone stuck to the guidelines.

Like many on here I have not seen any family members for over a month Now restrictions have been extended and even increased in some areas. Hospital admissions and tragically, mortality rates are climbing so I have yet to see any change for the better or proof of improvement.
However, I do agree that as long as people are still taking risks with disregard for others, it will be a long tough road.
Celtic getting back to winning ways (especially on Sunday) would give us all a much needed lift HH.

Europe and National games should of been written off this season. There will be more clubs being affected due to unnecessary travel.

Belgium were locked down and 5 standard staff/ players had it and the h@ns got away with it. mmmmm.

There's a lot of suspicion around about their testing methods and results and obviously don't want to wish any ill health or worse on anyone, but it's astonishing that they have stayed clear for so long.

Surely an outsider must be there when testing no doubt the sfa? 😂 testing for C.V. with an all blue pregnancy test.

{Ed007's Note - Official testing is carried out and monitored by an independent body.}

To be fair all our positive tests came when our players have been away on International duty. I don't think we've had any cases at home.
I apologise in advance if I am wrong on that.

To reply to above, pretty sure it's hard to get round C.V. testing. Just had mine on Monday as had to come back to Western Australia for work. Had 14 days quarantine and tested on 11th day. The paperwork to get into the state was phenomenal and had police coming to where we are to check quarantine. Everyday temperature check had to get sent. Forgot on day 12 and got a phone call to do ASAP. So I'm pretty sure it will be more stringent for the people back there. First time I've had the test and although the nasal bit wasn't too bad when she stuck that cotton bud to swab my tonsils I almost boaked. But work is work.
