Abstract

With impact of COVID-19 gradually increasing in many countries of the world with each passing day, there is a need to relook into the conservative management for some common sports related injuries. Awareness of all kinds of sports injuries, their symptoms, and preventive measures including education on rehydration, nutrition, monitoring team members, behavioural skills and techniques will further help in preventing the potential sporting injuries. Further, telemedicine and online portals including eSanjeevani outpatient department services should be encouraged.
