Edo 2020 national festival to go on despite threat of corona virus
I think there may be some confusion here.
The Edo 2020 National Festival, also known as the National Sports Festival, was indeed scheduled to take place in Edo State, Nigeria, from November 20 to December 6, 2020. However, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the festival was eventually postponed to 2021.
In October 2020, the Nigerian Government announced that the festival would be postponed indefinitely due to the rising cases of COVID-19 in the country. The decision was made to prioritize the safety and health of participants, officials, and spectators.
The new dates for the Edo 2020 National Festival have not been officially announced, but it is expected to take place in 2021, pending further updates from the organizers and the Nigerian Government.
It's worth noting that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on many events and festivals around the world, and the decision to postpone or cancel events is often made to prioritize public health and safety.
