Over 400 from Kasaragod, Kannur take part in trials
Despite the warning that the third wave of COVID-19 may affect a large section of children, the zonal selections organised by the Kerala State Sports Council at Jawahar Municipal Sports Stadium saw a large number of children from the districts of Kannur and Kasaragod crowding the place on Tuesday. The overwhelming crowd at the one-day selection trial violated the COVID-19 norms, as those participating flooded the stadium and did not maintain proper physical distancing or wear masks all through the day. However, they attended the selection trials after producing the certificate of antigen testing performed within 24 hours. Incidentally, the selection trials were conducted when the government had given no permission for sports and games activities that involves any contact. As per the order issued on July 6, only indoor sports and gym are allowed.
