They also imposed a new rule on that;
Stadium will be 60% filled for all games, except games involving the hosts, then 80% capacity will be allowed.

In all of these, you must indicate a negative PCR or show a proof of vaccination to get into the stadium.

Since vaccination does not stop the spread of Covid, what then is the essence of showing their proofs of vaccination?

baralatie:

Let me repeat myself again
If you are vaccinated.you are protected from the alpha,beta and delta variants.that is certain.
If you have a third booster shot ,you are protected from omicron!

Depending on your nations healthcare provider and the vaccines they are using wether it is astro Seneca,Pfizer or modena

Protected in what sense? From contracting the virus?

African players are very stubborn and behave like illiterates esp those home based useless Burkina Faso.
The presence of home based cause trouble for the foreign based
Nonense

Just cancel the competition already.

CAF

I foresee this covid-19 testing causing a lot of problems in this year's afcon, it could even be used as a tool to weaken and eliminate opponents and in deciding which country wins the tournament

Covid 19 is overrated

And the truth is, nothing serious happens to the said people who tested positive.

European World Cup concluded their tournament, no issues.
UEFA Champions league: Ongoing
All European leagues ongoing
Africa Nations Cup
The way some people think sha. That’s why they cannot be successful in life because of their negative and pessimistic thoughts.

baralatie:


Cameroon is about to hit those COVID infection numbers

Now I understand..let them cancel the game..
Or what do you think tho?

WibusJaga:


Too bad. This nonsense Covid wan mess up this AFCON. Wish they could just ignore it like in Kogi State till after the competition. Else make dem kuku cancel the competition.

They should ignore covid-19?

Ogbeni, leave dat Matter!

We Africans have Strong Blood! And we have our herbs too!

Remember when Gov Dapo Abiodun of Ogun state caught Covid 19 last 2 years!
He said he simply used Bitter Kola and other roots to take care of himself!

No be only Covid 19, na Covid 100!

Which strong blood? There is something we are eating or doing that we probably don't know, that is making lots of us immune to that virus.......

Maybe na egusi soup, kenke, jollof rice, ila alasepo (okra soup) ewedu, banku etc we don't know

baralatie:

No!
Africa was spared.from undergoing such horror!

This person is a good example of "tell me you watch more of CNN without telling us you watch more of CNN."

Slimzjoe:


Teams went with 4 goalkeepers

covid no de look roles before e attack..it can affect 10 players from a squad n include 4 goal keepers in dt 10

baralatie:

No problem Japan could not escape the waves of COVID that followed.
Is it Cameroun that wants to escape the waves of COVID that will ensur

Africa escaped COVID19 long ago .
It doesn't work here.
They should just forget this copy copy and go ahead

This game must go on by fire by force weda d devil likes it or not

CAF. Forget the tests, tests are not necessary now. Just play on, covid can't kill anyone playing the tournament. CAF just trying to play according to the white man's rules.

paulolee:
I no understand this funny rules o...so if our two keepers test positive, na player go enter post n keep??
also if the civid cases pass hit our camp n we dnt av d minimum 11 players available means we av lost 2-0? dis rules no make sense atall..
e kum be asif the covid na players fault

I think they only put this rules so that every team will be cautious and try observe the covid directives put in place,so that the spread of the covid can be minimized

[quote author=NwaNimo1 post=109201014][b]What if someone test positive at half time?[/b

Everybody don't cash the covid be that, that na serious gbege O

And come to think of this!!!
It all feels like a propaganda to jeopardize the AFCON because some coaches in Europe were never in support of freeing their players for the tournament. Even fifa restricted the release of players till 3rd of January. Allowing them to prepare for only 6days. Now let's ask ourselves if it were Europa cup, could this be the measure metted on them.
Even though caf conformed to the rule.p

. Most of the people testing positive are people with flu or common cold. That's the scam aspect of Covid.

This doesn't make sense at all... I am not comfortable with the 3 last rules

FRANKOSKI:
JEHOVAH HELP AFRICA.

Amen o

HacheNoire:


What’s the rate of vaccination in those places you listed?

In the event of n outbreak, those nations have everything it takes to curb it. They have the infrastructures, man power and economy to brace.

If an outbreak happens in Africa, you know the rest…

With all the Vaccination in those places, their infection/death rate is still higher than that of Africa - even when COVID outbreak is at peak here...

If you're not worried about them not cancelling tournaments, you shouldn't be bothered about cancelling AFCON too.

It's not FIFA, but CAF.

FIFA mandated teams to release players 13 days to the tournament, but CAF gave teams opportunity to keep them until January 3 in solidarity with the leagues.

Afcon 2021: Covid-hit teams must play with just 11 players and no keeper.

Countries suffering Covid outbreaks will have to play their Africa Cup of Nations matches even if they have only 11 players available.

On Friday Egypt delayed their departure for the tournament, which is taking place in Cameroon, and were forced to cancel training after coronavirus cases were reported in their camp.

The Pharaohs, who have won the competition a record seven times, eventually flew to Cameroon on Saturday.

Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was among two players to test positive in the Gabon squad on Thursday.

Guinea were forced to leave behind defender Mikael Dyrestam, midfielder Morlaye Sylla and striker Seydouba Soumah at their training base in Rwanda.

Cape Verde and debutants Gambia were hit by several positive tests last week, while Tunisia have also reported cases from their pre-tournament camp.
