“Here’s hoping to see this happen in rest of the world soon,” the former Deputy Editor of Sports 360 tweeted.

The Office of Sport further clarified that the advice was given on Monday 30 March 2020 as there had been restrictions of public gathering and isolation order in abid to curtail COVID-19 spread.

It further said that the new measures are meant to ensure safety, which is the top priority as the world battle the scourge of COVID-19. As a result of this development, the body further revealed that people have been given the opportunity to leave their homes mainly for the games.
