IKO Guyana moves to outdoor training in fight against COVID-19

The International Karate Organisation (IKO) Guyana has taken a decision to suspend indoor training at its Muslim Youth Organisation (MYO) headquarters until further notice in response to the Government of Guyana’s efforts to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

This was revealed to the media via a release on Tuesday.

“While all our instructors are fully vaccinated and while many of our students are also vaccinated, we have opted to conduct outdoor training at this time. We believe this decision is in the best interest of our students, parents, and instructors.”

Training sessions are now held at the National Park.

The IKO-Guyana will continue to be a responsible sporting organisation and we are committed to doing our part in helping Guyana out of this pandemic.

The IKO Guyana also urges all Guyanese who are eligible to be vaccinated, to do so urgently. “We are convinced that the vaccines are safe and are the only option at this time to help us out of the pandemic,” the release concluded.
