- (General Dispatch) – The New York Mets’ season opener in Washington, D.C., is extended due to new infections caused by the coronavirus.
- Through an official statement, the Nationals explained that several members of the organization are affected by complications related to covid-19. For this reason, the event was postponed.
- So far, the game has not been rescheduled; the organization is still waiting for the affected members to comply with the established health protocols.
- The information was released after one of the players tested positive moments before leaving the training site, a situation that alarmed the rest of the team.
- According to Mike Rizzo, general manager of the Nationals, four players are following the biosecurity measures, as well as a staff member who are the only confirmed cases so far.
- At the same time, the Atlanta Braves are hosting the fans at 33% capacity, thus complying with the social distancing.
- In opposition, President Biden made public his refusal to allow sports clubs to return to normality at the height of the covid-19 epidemic and without the majority of the population having been vaccinated.
- In conclusion, the competent authorities are considering special legislation to regulate the decision taken by the Atlanta team, as it is premature to return to the playing field in the company of sports fans.
