The UT Sports Department will assess the situation before restricting gathering of sportspersons at various sports complexes across the city, amid a spike in Covid-19 cases.
The UT Administration today restricted the gathering of people to 100 or a minimum 50 per cent of the capacity.
The sports complexes had started witnessing a good response from sportspersons and enthusiasts in recent times.
"We will definitely follow the guidelines. The sports complexes have been opened for sportspersons and for sports lovers, and SOPs are being followed at every centre. We will assess the situation and take a call accordingly," said Tejdeep Singh Saini, Director, Sports.
The sports complexes were recently thrown open to all trainees and members.
"We have been getting a good response. However, we have to be extra cautious. The sportspersons have been following all the SOPs but we should now start calling them to centres in small batches," said a coach.
The other cause of concern is conducting championships as it's difficult to follow Covid-19 protocols during competition.
"The organisers must ensure the safety of players. In this phase, when everything is pre-planned, the championships could not be cancelled. However, it can be managed more effectively. The organisers should use their experience. Many championships are lined-up in the coming days," said another coach.
