The Presidential Advisor on Health, Dr Anthony Nsiah-Asare has revealed that government will consider easing restrictions for Kumasi Asante Kotoko and Obuasi Ashgold to start preparations ahead of the CAF club competitions.
Speaking on Kumasi FM, Dr Nsiah said that government might consider allowing Kotoko and Ashgold to train since the CAF club competition is a continental tournament.
“The African club competition is a continental competition, how we handle the national teams situation now will be a basis for government in deciding the fate of Asante Kotoko and Ashantigold whether to allow them train or not.”
“When the time approaches and the GFA,MOYS and NSA present a legitimate proposal,precautions and protocols on the safety mechanisms,we will allow them to play to bring happiness back to the fans”, he told Kumasi FM.
Dr Anthony Nsiah further revealed that health experts will be consulted before taking any decision as to whether it’s safe for these two clubs to resume training or not.
“The health experts will look into the health risks and if its low,we will allow them.The countries our clubs will go to will also influence our decision,some countries do not even conduct Covid-19 test.”
“They will have to go through the same process the national teams are going through now.”
