Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases just gave sports fans hope. Fauci, one of the leading figures in the fight against the coronavirus, told Snapchat’s Peter Hamby he believes sports can return this summer — but there are some conditions. "There's a way of doing that," Fauci said. "Nobody comes to the stadium. Put [the players] in big hotels, wherever you want to play, keep them very well surveilled. Have them tested every single week and make sure they don't wind up infecting each other or their family and just let them play the season out." The NHL, MLB and NBA have all reportedly considered holding games at a single location.
