Sports can come back but without fans: Fauci
The HinduThe top US health and infectious disease specialist says the key to reopening professional sports leagues in America is to have the athletes play games in front of empty stadiums. “Keep them very well-surveilled, but have them tested like every week and make sure they don't wind up infecting each other or their families, and just let them play the season out.” Professional sports leagues are in gridlock due to the pandemic that has so far killed nearly 28,000 Americans. The NBA shut down on March 11 after Utah Jazz centre Rudy Gobert tested positive for the virus, and the NHL, Major League Soccer and the PGA Tour quickly followed suit. New York mayor Bill de Blasio said on Wednesday he doesn't want to see large-scale sporting events and concerts with fans come back for a long time.
