Coronavirus: Medical experts warn time not ideal for sports activities
Forced out of grounds, tracks and courts by the coronavirus pandemic, sports events may
help in the long run, but medical experts on Wednesday warned that resuming
anything this year could mean putting lives at risk.
When
sporting events do eventually make a comeback, which some of the region's top
doctors believe is not going to happen until at least the next six months or
may be nine, it may not be the same initially.
From
cricket, football, tennis, racing, to the mother of all sporting events, the
Olympics, the novel coronavirus has not spared anything.
"I
have no doubt that sport is great but at the moment, the focus is on saving
lives, and having sports events, which attract large crowds, could prove to be
disastrous," Akash Sabharwal, a renowned sports injury surgeon associated
with the Max Hospitals, told news agency PTI.
