The NHL, MLB, NBA and MLS issued a joint statement on Monday to announce that the leagues were limiting locker room access to just players and essential staff due to coronavirus concerns:
“After consultation with infectious disease and public health experts, and given the issues that can be associated with close contact in pre- and post-game settings, all team locker rooms and clubhouses will be open only to players and essential employees of teams and team facilities until further notice. Media access will be maintained in designated locations outside of the locker room and clubhouse setting. These temporary changes will be effective beginning with tomorrow’s games and practices.
