British Columbia’s top doctor is still grappling with how to allow kids sports leagues to get up and running this summer, despite the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Dr. Bonnie Henry says work is being done to figure out how kids can follow provincial guidelines, while still getting exercise and playing together. “I think there are ways it can be done.
We need to look at how do we do it safely so that we’re not sharing water bottles, sharing food,” Dr. Henry said. “We know how important it is to have physical exercise, particularly for young people, over the summer months and into the fall.” On March 19, BC Soccer advised members and affiliated clubs to plan for no sanctioned soccer activity to occur in April.
