Dr. Anthony Fauci says Major League Baseball should wrap up their season in September if they wish to avoid a spike in novel coronavirus cases.
Check out Fauci’s comments:
“If the question is time, I would try to keep it in the core summer months and end it not with the way we play the World Series, until the end of October when it’s cold,” Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in a telephone interview with The Times on Tuesday. “I would avoid that.”
Owners have expressed concern about an increase in coronavirus cases, notably in the home states of nine of the 10 teams that would be grouped in the Western region.
