The Barbados Olympic Association (BOA) is taking every precaution necessary including the setting up of a task force for the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics, says vice-president Cameron Burke.
The task force, Burke said, will include Dr Adrian Lorde and Dr Karen Ward who is chairperson of the Sports Medicine Association. Ward will also be Barbados’ chief medical officer for the Olympics.
During an interview with Barbados TODAY, Burke said that the BOA’s plan is to ensure that those representing the country will be given priority to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. None of the national athletes has as yet qualified for the Olympics.
