California Gov. Gavin Newsom: ‘Difficult To Imagine’ Sports Stadiums Full Of Fans Without Coronavirus Vaccine

Comments from California Gov. Gavin Newsom continue to suggest the Los Angeles Dodgers and other sports teams in the state are unlikely to be play games with fans in attendance this year. His remarks align with finding a coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine, which isn’t expected until 2021.

“It’s difficult to imagine a stadium that’s filled until we have immunity, until we have a vaccine,” Newsom said during his daily press conference Thursday.

“It’s difficult for me and imagine what the league, broadly leagues, do when one or two of their key personnel or players are tested positive. Do they quarantine the rest of the team if an offensive lineman is practicing with a defensive lineman, and they are tested positive?
