Last week, the NFL detected 37 positive cases of COVID-19 , however, the sports competition board announced that the remaining games of this season will continue.
This was announced by the high commissioner of the NBA, Adam Silver, who explained that there is no approach to stop scheduled games, although other options have been analyzed.
“These cases are literally sweeping the entire country, and the rest of the world; we are finding ourselves where we knew we were going to go in recent months, and that is this virus that will not be eradicated, and we are going to have to learn to live with I think that’s what we’re living in the league right now, “Silver said.
The commissioner acknowledged that the omicron variant has increased infections within the league by approximately 90 percent, which they will try to combat with strict protocols, PCR tests and insist on vaccination.
“About 97% of our players have been vaccinated. So, from my point of view, I prefer to focus on the 97% of our players than the 3% and, incidentally , many of the 3% have now contracted COVID- 19 , for which they have developed antibodies “, declared the manager on the obligatory nature of the vaccines.
