NBA announces 0 positive coronavirus tests in past week

The NBA announced Monday that there were no new positive coronavirus test results at the league’s “bubble” in Orlando in the past seven days.

There were 346 tested.

On July 13, the NBA announced that two positive test results came back out of 322 players tested for COVID-19. On July 2, it was announced that nine players tested positive for coronavirus out of 344 players tested.

“In the event that a player on the NBA campus returns a confirmed positive test in the future, he will be isolated until he is cleared for leaving isolation under the rules established by the NBA and players association,” a statement from the NBA said.

The NBA is one of multiple sports leagues attempting to resume its season with a “bubble” approach. Players from 22 of the league’s 30 teams have congregated in Orlando at Disney World to play a modified version of the rest of their regular season, plus the postseason.

The NHL also is doing a “bubble,” splitting two teams into Edmonton and Toronto in Canada. MLB and the NFL will have seasons for which the locations of games will be more similar to normal.
