The technologies behind the bio-bubble in sport

The Hindu  

Yes, the pandemic has disrupted the sporting — and pretty much every other — calendar for 2020. All matches were played in a ‘bio-secure bubble’ or its more popular portmanteau ‘biobubble.’ And now, the Indian Premier League in UAE on September 19 and the Indian Super League football championship in Goa from October 2020 till March 2021, will be played inside the bubble. ‘Minimise risks’ A safe and secure environment that is isolated from the outside world to minimise the risk of COVID-19 infection, a bio-bubble permits only authorised sports persons, support staff and match officials to enter the protected area after testing negative for COVID-19. Player perspectives Former India captain and current National Cricket Academy head, Rahul Dravid had questioned the concept of bio-bubble in May when ECB proposed the idea of keeping players in isolation for the entire tour to keep cricket up and running amid the pandemic. However India and Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli, during an episode of ‘Bold Diaries’ on RCB’s official YouTube channel, says the bio-bubble is there for a reason, explaining, “We are all here to play cricket.The bio-bubble needs to be respected at all times for the tournament to happen eventually.
