Line up with 300 million Americans? French media said NBA players will not jump in line to get the new crown vaccine
Reference News Network Samaranch Sports Channel reported on December 25. According to a report by Agence France-Presse on December 21, NBA Chairman Xiao Hua assured that players will not jump in line to get the new crown vaccine. The 2020-2021 season starts on Tuesday.
He stated in a conference call: "We will never jump in the line. We will wait for our turn to vaccinate." He reminded everyone that "The federal government and the states need to vaccinate more than 300 million people (each person needs two doses). ), this is a terrific logistics job".
He also said: "I hope that if we are selected, our NBA members will be willing to vaccinate." He thought that there might be hesitation or even refusal to vaccinate.

He added: "We hope to participate in publicity campaigns launched by the public sector to encourage people to get vaccinated."
Affected by the raging new crown epidemic, the NBA last season's games were suspended for 4 months, and finally ended in a closed stadium in Disneyland, Florida. There are 72 games in the new season starting on Tuesday, and the team will play at home and away.
Xiao Hua explained: "I have been asked many times,'Faced with such an epidemic situation, why are you starting this season now?', my short answer is that we have designed the hygiene and safety measures after consulting the players' union and medical experts. The safety regulations make us feel relieved."
In the next few months, teams will have to go to other places to play multiple times. At this stage, 6 venues have been approved and can receive a limited number of spectators. Another 24 venues were required by the local health department to hold empty games.
According to the report, the risk of players and staff being exposed to the virus is real, especially as the US epidemic is rising at an unprecedented rate.
But Xiao Hua expects that the new season will not be calm. He said: "We firmly believe that we will go through the whole season. If we are not confident, we will not start this season. But we know that there will be many obstacles on the road ahead. So we only announced the schedule for the first half of the new season (until March 4) because we may have to postpone the game."
