The National Sports Commission (NSC) yesterday announced that it has taken the stance of closing all facilities under its purview amidst concerns surrounding the spread of the deadly COVID – 19 (Coronavirus) in Guyana.
Those facilities in question will be sanitized during the period of the closure.
“Considering the presence of the COVID-19 within our country, the NSC hereby announces the immediate closure of all of its facilities for a period of two (2) weeks to facilitate sanitation work,” the release stated.
The list of facilities that will not be accessible include: the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall (CASH), National Gymnasium, National Aquatic Center, Colgrain Pool, and the National Racquet/Sports Resource Centre.
NSC, in justifying the move, indicated that it is ‘in keeping with the guideline from the Ministries of the Presidency and Public Health since these facilities are generally under mass usage.’
Any queries/concerns could be addressed by contacting the NSC 225-6340/225-3560 between the hours of 08:00 and noon.
“The Department regrets any inconvenience caused but would like to thank the public for their support and understanding,” NSC said.
