Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country’s top infectious disease expert and member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, said in an interview Tuesday that professional sports may need to stay on hold for the rest of the year if the safety of players and fans cannot be assured.
“Safety, for the players and for the fans, trumps everything,” Fauci told The New York Times in an interview. “If you can’t guarantee safety, then unfortunately you’re going to have to bite the bullet and say, ‘We may have to go without this sport for this season.’”
