Dr Pamboe: No safety measures, no league restart

Dr. Prince Pamboe says it will be irresponsible to restart football without a 100% safety guarantee.

The sports physician insists there is no need to rush into returning to the pitch if the adherence to safety precaution has not been met.

Dr Pamboe, who wants the 2019/2020 season cancelled, wants a 100% safety guarantee before the season restart.

“It’s irresponsible to start football now without a 100% safety guarantee,” he told Asempa FM.

“From the word go, we have to take time and start afresh. Those who are pushing for the restart must understand that it won’t be that easy.

“I don’t know the dynamics but if there isn’t a 100 percent safety guarantee, it won’t be proper to risk anyone’s life. Some are claiming we should play behind closed-door – which is fine but a lot will go into it.

“The players, technical staff, administrators and close contact staff must all be quarantined in an air-tight environment before matches.

They must all be tested before every single league match. The cosmetic ways of doing things won’t happen. There has to be robust testing every week and the wearing of mask.”
