Rwanda’s basketball fans will be allowed into the Kigali Arena to see the Africa championship that kicks off on Tuesday but must be vaccinated first.
This 30th edition of the 16 national male teams championship known as AfroBasket, was moved back a week due to the Covid pandemic.
Rwanda Basketball Federation says it is mandatory for Rwandans to have taken at least the first dose of a Covid vaccine to be allowed into the arena.
“For those who are not vaccinated yet, a vaccination desk will be established” at the arena, the federation says in a statement.
Spectators will also be required to present a negative test result, and buy an entrance ticket of at least $7.
The advent of covid-19 has seen Scientists and medical experts more devided than ever on the veracity of the virus with many protests all over the world against forceful vaccination.
Legal experts hold that it is illegal to make vaccination mandatory especially when there are reports that many have died as a result of the jab they recieved against the virus.
Many athletes in other sports have been forced to take the Jab for fear of being oostracised.
