Thumbs up for vaccinated rugby fans to return to stadia
SA Rugby has announced that fully vaccinated supporters will be allowed to attend club and professional rugby matches.
A maximum of 2 000 spectators will be permitted entry to rugby venues following the gazetting of new regulations by Sports Minister Nathi Mthethwa.
This does not extend to school rugby matches.
“This is very welcome news and the first step to returning to having the freedom to sell out venues on special occasions once again,” said the CEO of SA Rugby Jurie Roux.
It has been 19 months since fans were last allowed to attend rugby games.
“SA Rugby will provide guidelines to assist with the management and implementation of the entry protocols to ensure the safe return of fans as SA Rugby pledged itself to support the government’s vaccination drive,” said Roux.
