Article by January 28, 2021
The Barbados Aquatic Sports Association (BASA) has once again been dealt another major setback with the postponement of the 2021 CARIFTA Championship which was scheduled for March 26th to April 7th at the National Aquatic Centre.
This is the second consecutive year that Barbados was supposed to host the event and it has been postponed because of the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19).
BASA president Lady Cheryl Forde confirmed in a press release about the postponement and said a decision was made in response to the COVID-19 situation in Barbados and the region. She also explained that a new date will be set after the BASA executive meets with the COVID-19 monitoring unit in February and after a thorough review of updated protocols in the region is assessed.
