The NBA has made some drastic changes to its COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Players who received a positive test will now be able to return to the court more quickly.
Quarantines for players may now be shortened to six days, provided they are not symptomatic. Experts say this change aligns with a recent update in the CDC’s policy that lowers isolation restrictions from 10 days to five. The updated protocols have been endorsed by the National Basketball Players Association. In recent days, coronavirus cases have exploded in the NBA. As of Dec. 27, 120 NBA players were in the league’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols. This is despite 97% of NBA players being vaccinated and 65% of those receiving a booster dose.
