ESPN a écrit :As the NBA continues to tighten its health and safety protocols to combat the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the league will begin requiring players to wear K95 or KNF94 masks in all instances where required, sources told ESPN.
The policy will go into effect sometime in the next week, sources said, as the league is in the process of getting the masks to all 30 teams before making it mandatory that they will have to be worn. The NBA also plans to more strictly enforce its current rules regarding the use of facemasks in games beginning with Friday's games.
Under the league's health and safety protocols, whenever players, coaches or staff members are required to wear them -- including while sitting on the bench during games -- they will now need to wear the K95 or KNF94 masks. Players are allowed to sit by themselves in a "cooldown" area immediately after leaving games to catch their breath, but once they do are then supposed to return to the bench area and wear a mask.
La NBA va commencer à faire appliquer le règlement sanitaire mis en place avec plus de fermeté cette semaine, notamment sur le port incorrect du masque (nez non-couvert...). On peut s'attendre à une pluie d'amendes.
