Abstract:
Coronavirus pandemic knows no border, countries or continent. The outbreak of such an unprecedented pandemic has questioned the adequacy and preparedness of the global public healthcare system. Having a well-established, efficient health care system in the country is a pre-requisite to deal with such chaotic situation. The problem is further aggravated by the lack of health- related literacy among common people. During such a situation sportsman or athlete has a greater role to play as role models.

A sound system is the collective effort of government policies and the active involvement of the citizen of the country. To make public health movement more effective for the practical implication governments need to give priority on raising the health awareness of the people and sportsmen or athletes play a great role in this endea
