The NBA released its health and safety protocols for the restart of the 2019-20 season on Thursday, which include a number of measures designed to protect players and staff from the coronavirus.
Players will be tested for Covid-19 every other day throughout the season, and they will be isolated from the rest of the team if they test positive.
The league has also implemented a number of measures to limit contact between players, including prohibiting high-fives, fist bumps and hugging.
Players must maintain social distancing of at least six feet when not engaged in physical activity, such as during practices, workouts and games. They must also wear face coverings at all times when around other people and avoid sharing towels, water bottles and other personal items.
On game days, players will have their temperatures checked before entering the arena and will be required to take a Covid-19 test. If they test positive, they will not be allowed to play.
The NBA has also implemented a “contact tracing” system, which is used to track the movements of players who may have come in contact with someone who has tested positive for Covid-19. Players who are considered to be at risk of exposure will be quarantined and monitored for symptoms.
Quarantine Protocol
The NBA has a strict quarantine protocol in place for players and staff who test positive for Covid-19. Players who test positive must isolate for at least 10 days, and they cannot return to play until they are symptom-free for at least 72 hours. Staff who test positive must isolate for at least 10 days and cannot return to work until they are symptom-free for at least 72 hours.

How the NBA is Handling Covid-19
The NBA has released its health and safety protocols for the upcoming season. Players will be tested for Covid-19 every other day and must wear masks when not playing. The league has also said that it will be following CDC guidelines when it comes to travel and contact tracing.
The NBA is testing players every other day
To ensure that the players are healthy and the games can continue, the NBA has implemented a strict testing protocol. All players are tested every other day, and everyone must test negative in order to participate in games or practices. In addition, players are required to wear masks at all times when they are not on the court.
The NBA is also working with local health officials to contact trace whenever a positive case is identified. This helps to prevent further spread of the virus within the team and keeps everyone safe.
So far, this protocol has been very successful in keeping the virus from spreading within the NBA community. Thanks to these measures, the season has been able to continue uninterrupted.
The NBA has a “health and safety” team that is monitoring the situation
The NBA has a “health and safety” team that is monitoring the situation and will work with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to make sure that players, coaches and staff are following proper protocol.
The NBA has set up a “contact tracing” system to track who has been in close contact with players who test positive for Covid-19
The NBA has set up a “contact tracing” system to track who has been in close contact with players who test positive for Covid-19, league sources tell ESPN.
The system is being organized by the NBA and Stripes, a technology company that also worked with the NFL on its contact tracing efforts during the 2020 season.
The NBA’s contact tracing system will use a combination of wearable devices and mobile apps to track players’ movements, according to league sources. The data collected will then be used to identify which players have been in close contact with each other and may need to quarantine or self-isolate.
Players who test positive for Covid-19 will be required to isolate for at least 10 days, while those who have been in close contact with someone who tests positive will be required to quarantine for at least seven days, league sources said.
