The NBA is also preparing to return to the field, but with great caution. The Adam Silver commission in a video conference with the players, explained that it is possible that the remaining part of the championship will be played in one or two locations, naturally behind closed doors. "There is no reason to let the teams travel if there are no fans, one or two locations are safer," said the manager. Closed doors could also feature next season. Devastating event, but without alternatives "if a vaccine is not found".
    As for the return to the field, there is not yet a date, there are several hypothesized, but for each of them there are at least three weeks of training to restore the athletes to condition and avoid injuries.
    As for the prevention of infections, the go-ahead for asymptomatic swabs was given. After a first refusal by the League, in fact, the request of the clubs to check also the so-called asymptomatic athletes has now been accepted.
    At the beginning there was the fear, expressed by many parties, that it was inappropriate to commit the tampons, removing them from the health facilities. But the problem seems overcome, as swabs are available on a large scale, practically in all American cities and there should always be enough to check players and staff frequently, without taking them away from others. To complete the NBA championship, the league estimates about 15 thousand necessary swabs. In the case of a new positive case, the commissioner thinks of resorting to the isolation of the interested party and careful checks on who has been in contact with him, without having to suspend the championship again. But first the championship will have to resume, and for now that time seems not very close.
