Deyalsingh reminds public: Only national teams can train

HEALTH Minister Terrence Deyalsingh reminded the public ,on Wednesday that training for team sports is only allowed for national teams.

He was responding to questions from the media at the Health Ministry’s virtual press conference.

When told by a reporter that some clubs hadresumed training, Deyalsingh said, “As far as sport is concerned, the regulations speak to teams involved in national service like the national football team, (those representing TT at) Olympics, Red Force, who’s representing TT in cricket – they can train.

“What is not allowed is anything else.”

He said he spoke with Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith last week about the topic.

“So we are urging all of these persons, you are not allowed, under the regulations, to be training or congregating unless you are representing a national team.”
