Play Ball from 15 November 2020
The Ministry of Public Health and the Dominican Baseball League (Lidom) signed off to the health protocol to celebrate the 2020-2021 Winter Baseball Championship. Follow the tournament from 15 November 2020 on TV and online. No fans will be allowed in the stadiums.
Health Minister Plutarco Arias said that about 75 weekly tests per team will be carried out to keep tabs on any disease spread.
There will also be frequent inspections, disinfections, and permanent monitoring of each team’s clubhouses to protect the players and minimize the possibility of the spread of the virus. If a player gets sick, the tests will make it possible to isolate the person and treat the disease promptly to reduce complications. Players will be tested once a week.
Arias said that the Dominican people need recreation. He remarked that the usual friends’ gatherings, meetings with family are not happening. People are not even meeting for funerals. He said this has a psychological effect on people. “We, as Public Health, must respond and what better response than through sport,” he said. He added: “Baseball will be part of the cure.”
