Task team’s plan for return to training approved by department of sport

SA Football Association chief medical officer Thulani Ngwenya says the architects of the joint Safa-Premier Soccer League plan are delighted that only a few positive tests have been returned from clubs in anticipation of a return to training.

Ngwenya said the plan for a return to training will help clubs identify‚ manage and eliminate positive Covid-19 cases before the teams enter a single biologically safe environment to resume matches and complete the 2019/2020 season. “The first step then would mean all clubs‚ including technical‚ players and support staff‚ would have to test. After testing‚ and we have cleared everyone and they are negative‚ only then are they allowed to start training.
