SAI takes steps to ensure intensity of athletes returning to training Olympics

The Hindu  

With a view to ensure no reduction in training intensity of the Olympic Games-bound athletes, Sports Authority of India has amended the quarantine regulations for those returning to its centres from various competitions. In partial modification of the Standard Operating Procedures issued on September 11 and December 3 last year, SAI has ensured that athletes returning to national camps at the nodal sports body's training centres are able to continue training without compromising safety. SAI has told the heads of all its training facilities that athletes returning from various competitions should be housed in a separate hostel or block of hostels till their RT-PCR test is negative at the end of seven days so that athletes do not come into contact with those who remained in the bio-bubble. The heads of all SAI centres and the coaches have been instructed to draw up a proper schedule so that athletes returning from competition can use the field of play, gym and sports science facilities to ensure continuity of training, but without compromising the safety of those athletes who remained in the respective centres.
