The Permanent Secretary for Health Dr James Fong says they need the community at large to talk to the people who are playing sports and they should call the police to deal with these people if they persist.
This is after Legend FM News witnessed some people playing volleyball in Nadawa yesterday afternoon while some people contacted us and said that they had seen some youths playing rugby in Caubati and no action was taken.
Dr Fong says he has signed the gazette notices which will give them enough legal powers to stop all these social gatherings.
He says what they normally see is that it is usually the younger ones who are less likely to follow the measures in place and take risks.
Dr Fong says the unfortunate point is that because the younger population are resistant to the severe effects of the virus, they will not incur much of the risk.
The Permanent Secretary says these people are just passing it to the vulnerable group which can lead to a massive outbreak.
He adds this will mean that all the doctors and nurses will have to go back to the hospital.
