Abstract

Physical distancing was recommended to break the chain of transmission, with 761402,282 confirmed cases worldwide. The Bio-secure bubble system consisted of routine COVID-19 testing and cleaning of tournament locations. PESTEL analysis is a technique for examining external macro-environmental variables that have an impact on a company or sector. Difficulties in enforcing laws and cultural variations in adherence to safety precautions, technology can be used for contact tracing and testing, as well as for monitoring and maintaining the bio-secure bubble environment. Cost associated with deploying and maintaining the technology, while adopting a safe bubble approach, and carbon emissions while protecting the environment.
