The efforts for restarting the 2019-20 NBA season in Orlando, Florida on 30 July are in full flow. The league has already handed out a 113-page set of safety protocols to be followed at all costs.

However, NBA Commissioner is still Adam Silver wary of the possibility of spreading Covid-19 in the NBA Bubble in Orlando. In a recent media interaction Adam Silver was quick enough to say that the NBA will hold no prisoners if there a significant spread and would have to shut shop should that be the situation.

"Certainly, if we had any sort of a significant spread at all within our campus, we would be shut down again. It would be concerning if once [the players] sit through our quarantine period, and then were to test positive, we would know that, in essence, there's a hole in our bubble. That our campus is not working in some way."

While the NBA commissioner was quick to admit that a worst-case scenario could be on the cards, he has full faith in the tech available for medical procedures.

"We do have the ability to trace, to try and understand where that positive case came from. We can analyze the virus itself and try to track whether, if there’s more than one case if it's, in essence, the same virus, the same genetic variation of the virus that has passed from one player to another."
