Coronavirus: NFL's chief medical officer gives bleak outlook on return of sports

NFL executives are planning on having a full 2020 season without delay. But the league’s chief medical officer, Dr. Allen Sills, is cautioning against any assumption that the season will be able to do that.

And what he believes needs to happen for any team sport to return should have everyone concerned about the return of sports any time soon.

Sills: Can’t reopen sports with quarantine guidelines

As of now, most of the country is in a lockdown with residents being advised to stay at home and non-essential businesses shut down. Those who test positive for the COVID-19 coronavirus and those who were around that person are put in a mandatory quarantine for 14 days, the incubation period of the disease.
