In the wake of COVID-19, while precautionary measures are being observed across the globe, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has implemented World Health Organization (WHO)'s instructions to protect players, people and staff against coronavirus during the Lahore Qalandars and Multan Sultans match at the Gaddafi stadium.
Playing HBL Pakistan Super League 2020 matches under closed gates was part of the precautionary measures, a PCB spokesman, said. The last league match at the Gaddafi stadium was held under closed gates as no spectators were allowed to enter the stadium after the same was already being implemented in Karachi matches while security has been further beefed up.
It may be noted that the PCB had already allowed foreign players the option to leave the country of their own accord. The PCB staffers at the Gaddafi stadium have been exempted from bio-metric attendance while the officials with symptoms of flu, cough and fever were asked to stay at home.
Health Desks have been set up outside the offices and media center where hand sanitizers have been placed and all are required to disinfect their hands before entering the offices or the media center. Placards bearing special instructions have been displayed at the entrances in which players, broadcasters and stadium staffs besides journalists have been asked not to shake hands, sit at a distance from each other and wash hands often. The staff also checked temperature of the journalists in the media center during the match at the Gaddafi stadium.
