How is the University of Hawaii Going to Play Basketball in the 2020-2021 season.
There are definitely benefits of living in paradise during a pandemic, and by having an average of 78 degrees during the winter, Hawaii university has scheduled many Power Five Conference schools for the upcoming season.
Right now, any person who travels to Hawaii must quarantine for 14 days, as the state tries to maintain some of the lowest COVID-19 levels in the country (53 per 100,000 residents the week of Sept. 28). However, a new option will be available to travelers from the mainland: Visitors can submit evidence that they’ve received a negative test at least 72 hours prior to their arrival. This is a very important option for the sports teams, if the team can have negative tests, then they will be allowed to play, and continue their season as scheduled.
This article is news worthy because it relates to what people are interested in nowadays, COVID and sports. As well as showing University’s new guidelines to protect their athletes.
I think Hawaii should stick to the 14 day quarantine rule. Seems, though, like it would be easy enough to just quarantine the Hawaii basketball team and allow them to play all comers. Visiting teams would not be able to leave the bus between the arena and the airport, however.
