After over 300 cases of coronary disease have been diagnosed, around 100 just yesterday (Friday), the NBA is starting to consider measures to prevent further spread of the virus. According to reliable sources surveying the league, there may be a situation where the best league games in the world will be held without an audience.
Senior reporter Shams Chernya told Morning News that NBA leaders have sent a message to all the different clubs explaining that they should prepare for the possibility of hosting different contests without allowing fans to enter. Teams must also bring or train for play essential staff members in cases where some medical assistance is needed.
Such medical help was already essential tonight, in a game between Minnesota and Orlando. The Magic’s coach, Steve Clifford, felt bad after the fight between the two teams and was examined by a host’s doctor, and then rushed to a local Minneapolis hospital. It is not yet known whether it is a contagion in Corona, or whether it is a medical matter related to his heart problem.
Sources: The NBA has sent a memo to its franchises explaining that, due to coronavirus outbreak, teams should be preparing to play games without fans in attendance and identifying “essential staff” present for these games – should be necessary.
