California Governor Gavin Newsom Warns Against Expecting Normal Sports Seasons In Return From Coronavirus Hiatus

Several weeks have passed without professional sports and any semblance of normalcy throughout society as the world continues to grapple with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

MLB has made it clear they are taking cues from health officials and will make decisions accordingly.
