Beijing time on January 09, 2019! According to ESPN reporter Baxter Holmes today, sources revealed that about 70% of the NBA players who are eligible for vaccination have been vaccinated with the new crown vaccine. And that statistic accounts for about 350 players.
Earlier, according to ESPN's report, alliance sources revealed that due to the recent surge in new coronavirus infection cases, the NBA plans to extend the new coronavirus testing after the All-Star holiday by one week. In addition, players who are eligible for booster injections but are not vaccinated will be tested daily during the All-Star holiday.
According to sources, players who are not vaccinated with booster needles will be restricted from activities other than matches, including large gatherings, bars and clubs.
Although the NBA this season is held normally, it is undeniable that it has been greatly affected, as the season deepens, more and more players have been quarantined because of the triggering of safety and health agreements, and even many teams have been postponed due to insufficient numbers, so we have also seen many players who have been away from the NBA return to this stage.
According to the latest statistics released by the US media, the NBA has 580 players out of the game this season, creating a record for the number of players in a single season in the history of the NBA, an increase of 40 people from the record of 540 people last season, and may continue to break through the 600 mark in the future.
