July 20 (Reuters) – The National Basketball Association said on Monday that none of the 346 players who have actually been tested for COVID-19 over the last week on its bubble-like campus at Disney World in Florida returned positive tests.
When the NBA, which will resume its season on July 30 at Disney World without viewers, launched its previous COVID-19 update last Monday it stated 2 of the 322 gamers who got to the campus because July 7 had actually tested positive.
In the event that a player on the campus returns a confirmed positive test in the future, the NBA said he will be separated till he clears the guidelines established by the league and union representing its players.
The NBA, which halted its season in March, will have 22 of its 30 teams play 8 seeding video games to figure out a complete 16- group playoff field that will follow the standard post-season format with four best-of-seven series.
All video games, practices and housing are at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex inside the Orlando resort, which has several hotels and arenas, and permits the league to limit outside exposure. (Reporting by Frank Pingue in Toronto; Modifying by Dan Grebler)
