Foreign teams that will land in India for next month’s FIH Men’s Junior Hockey World Cup in Bhubaneswar have been exempted from quarantine and will only be required to monitor themselves for COVID-19 symptoms during the stay.
The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare took the decision following a request by L S Singh, Joint Secretary in the Sports Ministry, earlier this month.
The Health Ministry, however, stated that all the arriving teams will have to follow necessary health safety COVID-19 protocols.
The FIH Men’s Junior World Cup will be played at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar from November 25 to December 5. Hosts India are the defending champions.
