Ogunade speaking in a chat with www.brila.netsaid the Federation will not fail in having its own precautionary measure in place but haven’t cancelled any of it own program yet on the basis of the Covid-19 unless information says otherwise by the IOC.
“We don’t know what to expect because the story we have is that the Olympics will still go on, so we are still going by that and I imagine that the IOC the group embowered to inform us accordingly don’t have any news regarding cancellation or postponement. So we are going ahead with our preparation plan and we wait until they inform us before we think of the next step. One can’t be too careful of the scourge so we need to be also mindful of the fall out.”
