Sporting events look much different now than they did before the pandemic, and this year’s NCAA tournament is no different.

In addition to the COVID-19 guidelines players and other officials are following, spectators at games are required to follow rules to prevent the spread of virus.

All season, Loyola men’s basketball players have been required to wear masks during practice, receive temperature checks when entering athletic buildings and use a special QR code scanner for every room in the athletic buildings for contract tracing and daily symptom checks. Despite these precautions, the “majority” of the men’s basketball team tested positive for COVID-19 in November.
