NBA Takes Corona Virus Precautions

As the Corona Virus has reached the United States of America, the NBA has started its virus precautions and told players to avoid high-fiving fans.

A memo that was sent to teams on Sunday and obtained by The Associated Press on Monday, includes 10 recommendations of how to lower the risk of an infection.

The NBA suggests for players to fist-bump instead of high-five, as well as avoiding to take items (pens, balls and jerseys, anything) to autograph.
