Not as far as i'm aware, but I doubt that the Government will compensste them as they will say that it's in the public interest.

I've seen an unverified report that Sky are to suggest banning anyone over the age of 70 from Premier League matches for the foreseeable future. Whether this is true of not, I think that Sky would prefer not to have to televise matches in empty stadia.

Maybe as a gesture to help the situation, Sky could make the affected matches available Free To Air, but there again pigs might fly

There are also reports that in China there have been incidents of armed robberies to steal toilet paper!!!
