Good day; thank you for joining me.
As I believe you know, the Government and I, personally, are fully committed to sport. And we are doing everything possible to allow both local and international activities to resume safely.
Local sport, in particular, is extremely important to our social, physical and mental wellbeing, as well as our sporting aspirations nationally. We recognize this and we strive to balance the benefits of sport with the need to keep the population safe during the current pandemic.
Good Afternoon Bermuda.
