NBA announces zero positive COVID-19 tests in bubble as resumption of play looms

With NBA play scheduled to resume on July 30, the league announced on Monday that its latest round of testing produced zero positive COVID-19 cases.

The results are based on testing of 346 players within the Disney World bubble since results were last announced on July 13. Those tests produced two positive cases out of 322 players tested since July 7.

The players who tested positive in the initial round of bubble testing were in quarantine and left the bubble to self-isolate, according to the NBA. Those players were not identified.

Good start for bubble

The results are good news for the NBA, which is relying on the integrity of the bubble for the resumption of its season to succeed.
