一般来说，大规模集会可能会对公众健康构成风险（PH）。2020年欧洲足球锦标赛（EURO 2020）是自2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）疫情在德国爆发以来首批大型集会活动之一。为了及早发现和应对任何与2020年欧洲杯相关的对2019冠状病毒病相关流行病学情况的影响，我们与巴伐利亚州公共卫生当局合作，利用常规监测系统启动了加强监测活动。根据国家规定，实施了关于足球比赛和公众观看的若干预防措施。我们描述了2020年欧洲杯期间加强监测的结果。通过加强监测，总共发现了5例在慕尼黑体育场观看足球比赛的病例，9例在德国以外的体育场观看足球比赛的病例，以及123例与公众观看活动有关的病例。总括而言，二零二零年欧锦赛似乎并未对德国的COVID-19疫情发展产生重大影响。对体育场游客采取的健康措施和对大型公众观看活动的限制可能是导致检测到的病例数较低的潜在原因，强调需要适当的PH监测和法规，以限制大规模集会活动期间对PH的潜在风险。
In general, mass gatherings might pose a risk to the public health (PH). The UEFA EURO 2020 tournament (EURO 2020) was one of the first mass gathering events since the start of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in Germany. To allow early detection and response to any EURO 2020-associated impact on the COVID-19-related epidemiological situation, we initiated enhanced surveillance activities using the routine surveillance system in collaboration with the regional PH authority of Bavaria. Several preventive measures regarding the attendance of football matches and public viewing were implemented according to state regulations. We describe the results from the enhanced surveillance during the EURO 2020. In total, five cases who had attended a football match in the stadium of Munich, nine cases, who attended a football match in a stadium outside of Germany, and 123 cases in association with public viewing events were identified by enhanced surveillance. Concluding, the EURO 2020 seems to not have had a major impact on the COVID-19 pandemic development in Germany. Health measures for stadium visitors and the restriction of large public viewing events may have potentially contributed to the low case numbers detected, emphasising the need of appropriate PH surveillance and regulations to limit the potential risk to PH during mass gathering events.
