The NBA continues to carry out its bubble plan in Orlando, both on and off the field. While other sports leagues in the United States are looking to find the first way back amid a global pandemic, the NBA is proving that a bubble may be the only way. When the groups arrived at the Disney World campus last month, two players tested positive for COVID-19, but since then the race has been smooth for the league.
Now, for the fifth week in a row, no player has tried COVID-19. Depending on the league launch:

Even when the games have started and some players are leaving the bubble site to deal with various issues related to the circle, none of this has had any effect on the security of the league plan so far. Before the games began on July 30, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver told the New York Times that he was “cautiously optimistic” about the existing bubble protection and the option that the NBA has just finished the season. Silver was careful to get a winning circular because the players didn’t start the full games at this time.

According to the protection and fitness protocols of the league you sent to groups and players in June, visitors must adhere to the adhesion regulations before and remain in the bubble:
The NBA’s detailed plan to complete the remainder of the 2019-2020 season has worked so far, and while there’s still a long way to go to crown a champion in October, the league is in a much larger position than MLB is facing lately, and what the NFL will want to perceive in the near future.
