AFCON 2021: Cameroon Presents Anti-Covid Health Plan

AFCON 2021: Cameroon Presents Anti-Covid Health Plan Sampson Adedeji With less than a month to the start of the 2021 African Cup of Nations, host Cameroon has released health plans for fans and visitors to the country for the competition, BSNsports.com.ng can report. The health protocol will be the same for the five host cities of the competition: Yaoundé, Douala, Bafoussam, Garoua and Limbé. To go to the stadium during the competition, fans, players and officials will need a health pass for both the competing teams and the spectators. The host country insisted that everyone must be vaccinated and tested. When one is fully vaccinated, the health pass will be valid for one week, and another test will be done after expiration within 24 hours. The PCR type tests will be reserved for players and all those who are in what is called the “ handrail ”: officials, ball collectors, referees. For bleachers and fan-zones, an antigen test will suffice. One million tests to be performed in one month. All the tests will be free, whether they are done via the Mamalpro appointment booking platform or on the screening sites which will be linked to the sales sites. No ticket will be sold without a negative test. With 52 matches in a month, the Public Health Emergency Operations Center estimates that a million tests will have to be carried out. A logistical challenge. 2,000 nursing staff will be mobilized.
