BCCI is trying hard to save the second phase of IPL from Corona. During the league, UAE's VPS Healthcare has been partnered for services like Emergency Medical Service, Sports Medicine Support, Specialist Tele Consultation, Doctor on Call, Ambulance, Air Ambulance.

 

A 100 member team has been formed for medicine and Covid-19 management, which will help the players. Two medical teams will be available in the stadium for each match, consisting of doctors, nurses, paramedics, and lab technicians.

 

Fewer matches but more tests

Despite having fewer matches in the second phase, there will be more Covid Tests. Before the players reached the UAE, more than 750 staff were tested in 14 hotels in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. According to the new Covid protocol, all players and officials will be tested every third day. There will be 30 thousand corona tests during the tournament. In addition, nurses and other medical staff have been accommodated in the same 14 hotels in which the players are located until the end of the league for safe bio-bubbles.

 

Dr. Shajir Ghaffar, CEO, VPS Healthcare said, “Our team is ready to provide medical facilities during the IPL. We are trying our best to provide a safe environment throughout the tournament. The UAE has a good strike rate in terms of high-profile sports events during the pandemic. After IPL there is also T20 World Cup. Hopefully, this will help UAE emerge as a safe global sporting destination.

 

The presence of fans inside the stadium for the first time since 2019

A limited number of fans have been allowed to go to the stadium for the IPL. The second phase of this much-awaited T20 league will be played in three UAE cities Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah from September 19. The first match will be between the defending champions Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings in Dubai.

 

This will be the first time after 2019 that league matches will be played in the presence of fans. However, the organizers of the league did not say what percentage of fans would get entry into the stadium. But according to sources, 50 percent of fans of the stadium's capacity will be given entry.
