NBA 2020-21, the guidelines for health and safety

The NBA has provided its teams with a 158-page health and safety guide for the upcoming 2020-21 season.

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the guide prohibits players and staff from going to bars and clubs; live entertainment and gaming venues; and public gyms, spas and swimming pools while in their home markets. It is also forbidden to take part in large indoor gatherings of 15 or more people.

Additionally, Wojnarowski reported that while on the go, players and staff will be allowed to dine in “licensed restaurants” outdoors or in a “fully privatized space”.

The 2020-21 season will begin on December 22 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
