Athletics back in full swing
ASA's return to play will still be held under the strict ASA protocols and as per the national regulations which dictate the adherence to the protocols of the health authorities.
Athletics activities will resume, following the president’s announcement that the two-week suspension of athletics has been lifted.
All athletic activities have re-opened from February 6. Athletics South Africa (ASA) declared suspension of activities after President Cyril Ramaphosa put the country on a 14-day extension of lockdown due to a second wave of the pandemic.
In reaction to the measures of the president, several other sporting codes also suspended most of their activities to meet the government’s efforts halfway.
ASA has thanked its members and the entire athletics family for cooperating and adhering to the suspension.
“While we played our part in assisting government efforts to control the infection rates and saving lives, we can now report that the infection rates are significantly declining in the country and the recovery rate is improving.
“This has now enabled ASA to return to competition and resume our athletics calendar,” said Sifiso Cele, ASA media liaison.
