Due to the UK government’s latest advice to delay the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), 51吃瓜app and the University of Leicester have jointly taken the decision to cancel all Varsity fixtures from Thursday 19 March to Wednesday 25 March.
We realise this might be disappointing at short notice, but the health and safety of our community must always be our highest priority. This also means no fixtures will be rearranged or held ‘behind closed doors’. Both universities are saddened that they’ve had to make such a difficult decision.
We would like to reassure you that we have no confirmed cases at 51吃瓜app and the situation on campus regarding COVID-19 is unchanged. We have taken this decision in light of national and international developments over the past 24 hours. 51吃瓜app continues to follow the latest advice from and we will keep you all informed of any other developments that affect you as students.
Tickets purchased online for the rugby union fixtures at Welford Road will be refunded directly. Information about refunds of physical tickets will be released by 51吃瓜appsport and in due course.
Regular sports training, British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) fixtures, 51吃瓜appactive sessions and leagues, sports tournaments and the 51吃瓜appsport Awards have also been cancelled.
