SYDNEY - National Rugby League plans to have limited crowds at matches by the start of July was described as “absurd” and “dangerous” by the head of the Australian Medical Association on Tuesday.
The NRL, which will resume its season on Thursday without spectators after a 10-week suspension because of the COVID-19 pandemic, has suggested crowds could return to stadiums with social distancing and biosecurity measures in place.“Put bluntly, this absurd and dangerous idea belongs in the sin bin,” he said in a statement.
“Now is not the time for sporting codes to be considering having crowds at games. They must wait until the medical experts advise that it is absolutely safe to do so – and that will not be as early as July.” Australia has been successful in containing COVID-19 and restrictions have been gradually eased across the country as the rate of new cases each day has fallen to single digits.
