The spread of COVID-19 is affecting nearly every aspect of American and global life, and the sports world is no exception.
There are more than 130,000 confirmed cases of the virus globally across at least 111 countries, with nearly 5,000 deaths. In the U.S., there have been more than 1,400 confirmed cases, with at least 38 patients dead.
The virus—which the World Health Organization has classified as a pandemic—has disrupted the sports calendar more than any event in recent memory. Several leagues have suspended their seasons, and a number of events—including, most notably, March Madness—have been canceled.
