Xam Khoe commune (Mai Chau district).
Deputy director of the district’s culture,

and the district were initially slated by Q3 2021. However, COVID-19 impacts
forced the suspension of all sporting activities, including the sport meet.

district’s event took place and six out of the 16 communes had their sport
meets held.
Last month, the district requested communes
and townships to resume sporting activities and sport meets by the second
quarter of the year.
Mai Chau is set to host table tennis in April and traditional sports in early
May.
The eight sport meet of Mai Chau district will
consist of 10 sports. Host localities still pay due heed to COVID-19 prevention
and control measures, building plans to organise the events either in the new
normal or complex developments of the pandemic.
Athletes must receive at least two doses of
COVID-19 vaccines and adhere to preventive measures so as to ensure the events’
success while preparations have been accelerated.
The events are to evaluate the development of
sporting activities among the people, armed forces, cadres, civil workers along
with physical education in schools, and call on people to respond to the
"All people take exercises following the example of great Uncle Ho"
campaign.
