Government has given the greenlight for the resumption of sports activities with all staff and coaches at sports clubs required to be vaccinated while adhering to Covid 19 regulations
“Sporting activities can now be resumed subject to strict observance of COVID-19 prevention measures and protocols. Attendant staff should be vaccinated.
“Where local activities involve participants who are below the age of 14, they shall, in all cases, be checked for Covid-19 symptoms, have regular temperature checks and follow social distancing protocols.
Athletes or children aged 14 to 18 years are highly recommended to get vaccinated, and the national sports associations can work with Sport and Recreation Commission to get this done,” said Minister.
She further added that a range of cultural and leisure activity can now resume for the fully vaccinated, including cinemas, theatres, art galleries, gymnasiums, health spas and fitness centres.
“Gymnasia and health spas can now open to only vaccinated clients. All staff should also be vaccinated.
Cinemas and theatres can now allow 50 per cent sitting capacity of vaccinated clients and all workers should be vaccinated,” she added
The resolutions are made at the backdrop of a decrease in the number of new coronavirus infections and deaths in recent weeks.
