Four major American sports leagues are taking the unprecedented step of banning all media members from locker rooms amid the outbreak of coronavirus across the globe.
The NBA, NHL, MLB and MLS announced in a joint statement released Monday that only “players and essential employees” will be allowed into locker rooms before and after games until further notice beginning Tuesday. The release said that there will continue to be media access to players outside of the locker rooms, though it did not say how many players would be available to reporters or when.
