The Premier Soccer League (PSL) said that journalists (broadcast and print) who will cover Chibuku Super Cup matches have to produce COVID-19 test certificates done within 48 hours to gain access to the match venues.
This is in line with COVID-19 preventative measures, protocols and directives issued by the PSL, WHO and local health authorities.
PSL chief executive officer Kennedy Ndebele said accredited media representatives will at all times be required to wear face masks covering nose and mouth and maintain social distancing of at least one metre apart. Said Ndebele:
All media personnel are encouraged to get tested and vaccinated to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
Media personnel are required to present their Covid-19 test certificates, done within 48 hours to gain access.
In addition to the set protocols, it shall be compulsory for the media to sign the media register list before entering.
Any individual who refuses to sign will be denied entry to the stadium.
There should be no close proximity to the coaches/players before, during or after the match.
