Task Force said to be giving some sports federations the ‘royal run around’

While many sports disciplines around the world have returned to competitive play a year into the pandemic, some sports associations/federations here are yet to be given the green light or even receive timely responses for the hosting of their events.

The latter has been a major cause of concern and several members of sporting associations have complained that the National COVID-19 Task Force has been slothful and untimely in responding to letters seeking permission to host sporting events.

In November, it was published in the Official Gazzette that sports events were  permitted to return with a caveat of getting approval from the Ministry of Health.
