Piers Morgan is the latest to question with Liverpool's match against Atletico Madrid was allowed to go ahead as coronavirus death in the city spike again.
The Good Morning Britain presenter has weighed in on the debate that thousands of Spanish football fans should not have been allowed to travel into Liverpool from locked down Madrid as the virus peaked in their own country.
Speaking out on Twitter, Piers also questioned the 250,000 people who were allowed to attend Cheltenham and concert goers who turned out to see Stereophonics.
In the tweet, the controversial front man said: "Infections for many of the UK deaths now being reported will have happened around the time the Govt. inexplicably allowed 250k people to attend Cheltenham Festival, 54k to attend Liverpool v Atletico & 50k to attend @stereophonics shows.
"How many of them got infected and/or died?"
The comments come after the latest numbers from NHS England show that deaths on Merseyside have risen once again.
The number who have died at Liverpool's hospitals after contracting the disease now stands at 124 with the vast majority of these deaths happening at hospitals run by the Royal Liverpool Trust.
A further five deaths have been recorded in Wirral, taking the peninsular's total to 52 at present.
But Southport and Ormskirk Trust registered zero deaths, as their total remained at 38.
And there was one death at the trust covering St Helens and Whiston Hospitals making a total of 35 overall.
These figures refer only to the people who have sadly died in hospitals after being tested for coronavirus.
A further 866 people, who tested positive for the Coronavirus (Covid-19) have died, bringing the total number of confirmed reported deaths in hospitals in England to 8,114.
Piers' concerned ECHO those of Liverpool council's new director of public health, Matt Ashton and his father Professor John Ashton.
Former North West director of Public Health, John Ashton, was one of the most outspoken critics of the government's approach to tackling the virus, taking to television and media to call out a lack of testing and what he believes was a dangerously delayed decision to lockdown the country when the virus initially arrived.
John Ashton was one of those to question the logic of encouraging 3,000 Madrid fans to travel from the Spanish capital - where the was already an acute outbreak of Covid-19 - to Liverpool to spend a day drinking in the city's bars before cramming into a packed Anfield.
He has continued to suggest that the match could be a factor in Liverpool's subsequent surge in cases and deaths.
John didn't go to the match that night, his son did.
He said: "Looking back it might not have been a sensible decision, but the national guidance was for the game to go ahead.
"If we look now at the idea of people coming from other cities with many cases of coronavirus coming to Liverpool for a football match - it was probably a silly decision (for the game to go ahead)."
He added: "It is an assumption, we probably won't know what effect it had because of the lack of testing and contact tracing, but I think a national decision probably needed to be taken yes."
