FG Lifts Ban On Tennis, Non-Contact Sports by robosky02(m): 8:18am On Aug 08, 2020
The Federal Government said it has lifted its ban on non-contact outdoor sports, as they continue to ease the on-going COVID – 19 restrictions.

The announcement was made by the National Coordinator of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, Dr. Sani Aliyu this during its briefing yesterday in Abuja as sports classified as low risk were given the green-light to resume. These sports include athletics, lawn tennis, table tennis, golf, cricket, cycling, among others. Contact sports like football, boxing, wrestling, Taekwondo, rugby, swimming and basketball remain banned until further notice.

He said, “For recreational parks/communal sports, restrictions are removed on outdoor communal non-contact sports and the use of recreational parks for supervised physical exercise, not for social interactions.

For recreational parks that are unable to enforce this, we expected them to remain closed.

“For outdoor non-contact sports, this includes lawn tennis, table tennis, squash, badminton, cycling, athletics, golf, polo, para-athletics, cricket, and other non-contact outdoor communal activities, in the event that people are not certain, please contact the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports for further guidance.”

There is nothing like no contact in tenis playing if we are to consider the easy means of it's transfusion as we are told.

The both players touch the same ball.

Even in multiple occasions, including when they must have been wet with sweat.

One can say Covid-19 is already in communities,...
If you had cold, catarrh, cough,sore throat and fever in recent times,especially from June it probably was covid-19. Somehow it's like most people's systems have grown immunity against it.
Concentration should be on the vulnerable e.g. old people, already ill ones etc.
All these restrictions are only shutting the economy while the people at the community level and at all other levels don't obey the simple guidelines.

That tennis ball that is capable of soaking lots of fluid is also a medium of transmitting the virus.
Won’t the opponent touch the same ball?
Won’t the ball girls/boys touch the same ball?
It’s very clear that leaders and policy makers in this country don’t think.
