How Are NBA Players Getting Covid?
Contents
The NBA has seen a recent surge in Covid-19 cases, with over 20 players testing positive in the last week. Here’s how they’re getting the virus.
NBA players are tested every day for Covid-19
NBA players are tested every day for Covid-19, and the league says that so far no one has tested positive for the virus. But how are players getting infected?
There are a few ways that NBA players could be getting Covid-19:
1) Through contact with someone who is infected. This could happen if a player comes in contact with an infected person during his daily life, such as at home or while running errands.
2) From exposure to the virus in the environment. This could happen if a player is in close proximity to someone who is infected, such as in the locker room or on the bench during a game.
3) From contaminated surfaces. This could happen if a player comes in contact with a contaminated surface, such as a doorknob or countertop, and then touches his face.
4) From respiratory droplets. This could happen if a player is exposed to respiratory droplets from an infected person, such as through coughing or sneezing.
The best way to prevent Covid-19 is to practice good hygiene, such as washing your hands often and avoiding close contact with people who are sick.
If they test positive, they are immediately isolated
If an NBA player tests positive for COVID-19, they are immediately isolated from the rest of the team. The NBA has a strict protocol in place to prevent the spread of the virus, and so far it seems to be working.
Players are tested every day, and those who test positive are not allowed to interact with the rest of the team. They are also not allowed to travel with the team or stay in the team hotel. Instead, they are sent to a designated isolation area where they can recover.
The NBA has not released any information on how many players have tested positive for COVID-19, but it is clear that the league is taking precautions to protect its players.
They are only allowed to return to play if they test negative for two consecutive days
If a player tests positive, they will be quarantined for at least 10 days and must test negative twice in a row before returning to play. While in quarantine, players will have to maintain social distance and wear face coverings when around other people.
Players are also required to wear masks and maintain social distancing when possible, although it can be difficult to do so when playing. In addition, all players and staff must undergo regular testing for the virus. So far, there have been no confirmed cases of players or staff contracting Covid-19 from participating in NBA games.
