Players and officials would have to take special requirements regarding personal hygiene.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I would love to be able to have all sports back,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But as a health official and a physician and a scientist, I have to say, right now, when you look at the country, we&#8217;re just not ready for that yet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The National Basketball Association, which unprecedentedly postponed its regular season on March 11 because one of its players tested positive for coronavirus, is planning on opening its practice facilities for individual workouts on May 8, one week from Friday, with heavy restrictions regarding social distancing and hygiene.<\/p>\n<p>In swimming circles, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/usa-swimming-unveils-revamped-schedule-athletes-can-start-planning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">USA Swimming<\/a> is hoping to host its first regional level meet in mid to late August with its first national level meet in November if it is deemed safe. If Fauci is saying pro sports should not come back, then some obvious adjustments would need to be made and swimmers will need to be cautious come the fall when it may or may not be deemed safe to hold organized practices again.<\/p>\n<p>As eager as some organizations may be to return to action, their decisions will likely hinge on what their fellow leagues and governing bodies are doing. No organization wants to move too soon and find itself sidelined for an additional period of time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Institute of Allergy and Infectious
