Over the past few days, there have been live broadcasts around the world regarding the serous violations of the health guidelines by Cricket fans who come to watch the LPL tournament.
Although the tournament was given the approval by the health department with a number of specified health guidelines such as wearing masks, reducing the capacity of spectators by 50 percent and maintaining a certain distance, the live TV coverage clearly showed that drastic violation of health guide lines.
When we inquired about this from a number of Deputy Directors General of Health Services in the Ministry of Health, they all evaded from answering .
However finally, when we asked Dr. Anwar Hamdani, Chief Coordinator, Covid19, about this, he said that if spectators violations in the ground was reported to the Ministry of Health the law can be enforced or the organizers can be informed and corrected.
However, the Ministry of Health has not yet been notified of any violations of the sports guidelines by sports fans during the LPL tournament, he said. If so, we can now submit that information to Mr. Hamdani.
Here are some photos we took on TV a few days ago. These frames still exist on the YouTube social media network.
However, Deputy Director General of Health Services Hemantha Herath said that we can not control Covid disease unless the health guidelines are implemented properly.
