“My daughter has attended this karate class for over one year. COVID-19 pandemic has been changing complicatedly; however, the province has been controlling the situation well. Therefore, I keep taking my child to the class. This is a way for children to take part in summer activities and stay healthy amid the pandemic,” said a parent named Thanh Hai.
The local cultural, information and sport centers in Khanh Hoa have suspended all cultural and sports activities in August, for example Olympic running day for the whole people’s health of Ninh Hoa Town Cultural, Information and Sport Center. However, physical exercise and sports good for physical well-being such as badminton, morning exercise and swimming are still permitted as long as people keep implementing the recommendations of health authorities on COVID-19 prevention and control.
One of the measures to prevent and control COVID-19 recommended by the health authorities is doing exercise and practicing sports to stay healthy. Therefore, maintaining sports classes in the summer under strict supervision on disease prevention is a way helping the localities to maintain local movement sports activities and prepare athletes for future sports activities and tournaments.
