Malaysian athletes are one of the sides that have to face the consequences of Covid-19 as they are not eligible to train and prepare for their upcoming competition. The National Sports Council (MSN) said that they will prepare a guideline for national athletes to return to their training. MSN director-general Datuk Ahmad Shapawi Ismail said they would work with other stakeholders to come up with a standard operating procedure (SOP) for athletes.
