In attendance were medics from the various rugby teams, representatives from the referee society, facility managers and players.
“I would like to remind the players and officials to use the online resources on the World Rugby passport that give guidance for players, coaches and administrators on what to do to prepare ourselves to safely return to the sport,”- Dr Joseph Kalanzi said.
The objective of the workshop was to take participants through what the return to play guidelines looks like in regards to SOPs and the different roles of players, match officials and managers of the rugby facilities.
