As MLB spring training resumes, 31 players test positive for COVID-19
Major League Baseball, resuming spring training Friday, announced that 31 players and seven staff members tested positive for COVID-19 as part of intake screening. The 38 positives were 1.2% of the 3,185 total samples collected and tested, according to the league.

According to the statement, the non-standardized facemasks present "particular safety risks," and also more frequently fail the certification tests from the company (NOCSAE) which approves equipment for the NFL. All helmets and facemasks have to be certified by this organization, though it's unclear if the facemasks that did make it through last season actually failed or not.NFC Teams Face Masks

MLB tightening virus protocols, including masks in dugouts

Players are required to wear face masks while in the dugout or bullpen, something its operations manual had not stipulated before. Since games have begun, most players have not worn masks in the dugout and have been shown exchanging high fives, failing to observe social distancing and spitting. The memo also indicates that umpires must wear face masks at all times, unless they cannot do their jobs.

Each team’s compliance officer will enforce protocols, which require players and staff to wear face coverings at all times in hotels and in public places, including on team buses and airplanes. While on the road, teams were told to provide a large private room or ballroom where staff and players can get food and maintain social distancing. Players who want to leave the team hotel must get approval from their compliance officer.

Teams were told to provide covered outdoor spaces and to have areas where players for both teams can maintain social distance during weather delays. Players will be told to use those areas rather than hanging out in clubhouses.Washington Football Team Face Masks

The Ravens were recently involved in one of the biggest outbreaks in sports, when at least a dozen players tested positive. But Bryant's positive test was the first one on the team in a week.
