NSA to provide specific protocols for non-contact sporting disciplines – Sports Minister

Mr. Isaac Kwame Asiamah, Minister for Youth and Sports has said the National Sports Authority (NSA) will soon outline specific guidelines for the resumption of the non-contact and individual sporting disciplines.

This development comes about after President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo gave the green light for non-contact sports to go ahead in his address about measures taken against the spread of Coronavirus last Sunday.

According to the Sports Minister, it would be vital to adhere to strict hygienic conditions to ensure safety in the non-contact and individual sporting disciplines that have been granted permission to operate.

“It will be important to observe all the health protocols to safeguard athletes, so as we go along the Director-General of NSA, Peter Twumasi would sit down with each federation to outline specific protocols to be observed by each sporting discipline.

“I’m sure if the NSA outlines the protocols, we can ensure the safety of our sports during the Covid-19 pandemic,” he said.
