The NBA has continued to avoid another outbreak of COVID-19 cases for the time being, having recorded no new positive confirmed tests among 482 players since January 27, as Shams Charania of The Athletic reports (via Twitter).
The league has been announcing its testing results on a weekly basis, and has been trending in the right direction since confirming 16 positive tests on January 13. There were 11 positive tests the following week, one positive test from Jan. 20-27, and now zero over the last week.
That encouraging trend has been reflected in the NBA’s schedule as well. After a flurry of postponed games in mid-January, the league has only had to postpone one game since January 27 — that contest, Monday’s game between the Pistons and Nuggets, was pushed back due to a false positive test result.
I was a skeptic of the new protocols but maybe Silver got it right?
Then again COVID seems to do a good job evading logic a lot of the time
Fantastic job the NBA once again of handling the coronavirus. Just like they did inside bubble. These new protocols are working out just fine.
Yay!!!!
Covid is over!!!
