Post Covid Return to Play SOPs

2020 was the year to remember but so is 2021. The long-lasting effects of the first wave of the deadly pandemic can still be felt. Even after almost the end of the second wave. Nobody and no business was left untouched by the repercussions of the deadly coronavirus. To minimize the effect the government acted and did bring a change with different SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures). They declared a lockdown in the country and imposed strict actions on the people who still were not following the protocols. Yet the haunting effects of the virus brought everything to halt, and from shops to schools, movie theatres to even all sporting places and events. 

After almost the end of phase 2 of the pandemic, the places have started operating under the protocols. And the new normal is social distancing, everything shifting to online service from groceries to sports too!

Physical sports is also making its way back but before delving into that question let’s ask ourselves Are we ready for that? Do we know the protocol to follow as we return to play? Well, KheloMore has put across comprehensive SOPs . These SOPs are collected from various sports bodies across the Nation, to help you understand just how safe is your return to play and the dos and don’ts of it.
