Cricket fans have not been able to watch live cricket since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020.
Cricket South Africa’s acting CEO Pholetsi Moseki said access to stadiums will be strictly monitored.
“The ticket and accreditation cards being strictly monitored to provide a detailed log of all access to the stadium. All tickets will be unreserved to allow spectators the ability to social distance and patrons will need to scan their own tickets once they arrive at the turnstiles.”
Moseki said there will be an "outer ring" where security will validate everyone’s vaccination status.
“The verification process will require patrons to either produce their original vaccination card or present a printed copy of the SA government issued Vaccinated Certificate. Alternatively, the patron may also present a digital version of the Vaccinated Certificate. The patron's identity document, drivers licence or passport will have to match the details on the Vaccination Certificate.”
Vendors will be allowed but alcohol will not be sold or consumed in the vicinity of the stadiums.
