The Ministry of Youth and Sports made the decision at an emergency meeting on Monday. Many countries have restarted sports and training activities in compliance with hygiene regulations as the number of infections has decreased, State Minister for Youth and Sports Zahid Ahsan Russel said. The ministry had sought the opinion of the Directorate General of Health Services to restart sports in Bangladesh considering that the infection rate is also declining here, he added. It would be better if a person is tasked solely with monitoring the health rules in games and training. The government announced the suspension of all sports activities in Bangladesh in March indefinitely after the first COVID-19 cases were detected.
