A working draft of Major League Baseball's health and safety manual for the shortened 2020 season contains rigorous rules aimed at preventing the spread of Covid-19 as well as protocols for frequent testing and screening, according to a copy first obtained by The Athletic and later by ESPN.
The 67-page document, according to The Athletic and ESPN, is a draft and is subject to change.
Coronavirus testing measures outlined in the document would include frequent testing for players, and those who regularly come in close proximity to players, such as managers, coaches, and umpires.
The MLB would strive to use the least invasive and fastest commercially available testing methods without impacting public health needs. Asymptomatic individuals would be screened at least twice a day, required to self-screen at home each morning and tested multiple times a week. Any individual testing positive or displaying symptoms would be required to immediately self-isolate and consult with medical staff.
Many of the rules proposed in the document would alter some traditional baseball norms. To name a few, teams would not physically exchange lineup cards and players would be prohibited from spitting, chewing tobacco or sunflower seeds, high-fiving, or throwing the ball "around the horn."
Social distancing would also be encouraged in the dugout and during the national anthem, and non-playing personnel must wear masks in the dugout.

Italy’s Health Minister Roberto Speranza has called on citizens to “remain prudent” as the country prepares to relax its coronavirus lockdown on Monday, warning that the “hard part” will begin tomorrow.
“Tomorrow there will be many more people out and so there will be a higher possibility of crossing paths with someone ... tomorrow, the behaviors we have learned will be more necessary than before because there will be greater occasion for contagion,” Speranza said on Sunday. “The virus is still not defeated. It’s not present like it was weeks ago, but it’s still here, so we must remain prudent.”
Speaking during a televised interview on the eve of Italy’s reopening, Speranza acknowledged that while he had been reluctant to reopen the country too quickly, Italy’s economy and society “need to relaunch again” after 10 weeks of confinement.
Additionally, Speranza announced that the Italian government will increase its intensive care capacity by 115%, investing more than 3 billion Euros in creating more than 11,000 ICU beds.

There is additional staff dedicated to sanitizing equipment and frequent-touch areas and pre-shift screening, masks and gloves required for all employees.
Popular chain Planet Fitness is opening many of their locations on either May 15 or May 16, and sent word to their clients via email that “the safety of our team and members is our top priority."

The meeting is expected to include representatives of the Independent Restaurant Coalition, a group organized during the pandemic to represent the interests of independent restaurants around the country. Its leadership includes Jose Andres, Sam Kass, Andrew Zimmern, and Tom Colicchio.
The group has expressed concerns about the Paycheck Protection Program and most recently has praised the House of Representatives for provisions in the newly-passed Heroes Act that include additional flexibilities for restaurants – something that is expected to come up at the Monday meeting, the source said.
