(Reuters) - The Brazilian government on Tuesday sanctioned the partial return of fans to football stadiums.

“It is important to stress that the reopening should be up to 30% of capacity of stadiums,” Brazil’s Health Ministry said in a short statement, adding that the percentage can increase later if required.
