Guyana allows resumption of sports, but no spectators
Guyana’s Health Minister, Dr Frank Anthony, said cricket authorities have been
granted limited provisions for the resumption of matches in the country, but no
spectators will be allowed.
The Guyana Cricket
Board announced regular activities will resume on Saturday, starting with a
national over-40s competition, following a cessation because of the dangers
associated with the COVID-19 virus.
“We have granted
permission for cricket matches, but without spectators and along with this
permission, bars at these events must be closed,” Dr. Anthony said in a media
release.
“If the provisions
are breached, the event will be shut down immediately. We are very serious
because these events, if not managed properly, can become super spreaders,
where a lot of people congregate, get infected and spread the disease.”
