As Qatar gears up for the National Sport Day (NSD) celebration on Tuesday, 8 February 2022, the NSD Organising Committee, in coordination with the Ministry of Public Health, has announced that in order to limit the spread of COVID-19, all individual and team sports activities this year will take place in open-air venues only.
All group sports activities during National Sports day, this year are outdoors only with no more than 15 people from the vaccinated individuals or a maximum of 5 not fully vaccinated such as children under the age of 12, exclusively only in individual sporting activities outdoor. Those who are not fully vaccinated need to show proof that they are free of Covid 19 by doing the rapid antigen test within 24 hours before the activities.
In any case, all participants are committed to keep distance, not less than one meter away.
All activities must be carried out to prepare for the sports day beforehand, under the above conditions.
Organizers, participants in activities and spectators must fully adhere to all health procedures, especially those related to wearing of masks at all times, except during tough sports that may prevent breathing during practice, masks are used during light sports such as walking, as well as other measures such as safe physical distance, cleaning hands with sterilizers and other measures imposed by the Ministry of Public Health to reduce the spread of the virus causing Covid-19.
Participants can arrive for training, preparation or participation in the events using their own cars or taxis, so the total number of passengers in each vehicle do not exceed 4 people, including the driver. Everyone must wear masks on the trip.
