Dr Anthony Fauci says that “Having full NBA arenas by July is ‘cutting it close'”
NBA Playoffs are scheduled to run from May to July.
Dr. Anthony Fauci told Yahoo! Sports that the idea of teams playing in front of full arenas by the end of the NBA playoffs in July is “cutting it close.” NBA Playoffs are scheduled to run from mid-May to mid-July 2021.
"We’re gonna be vaccinating the highest-priority people from the end of December through January, February, March. By the time you get to the general public, the people who’ll be going to the basketball games, who don’t have any underlying conditions, that’s gonna be starting the end of April, May, June. So it probably will be well into the end of the summer before you can really feel comfortable with it, if a lot of people get vaccinated,” said Fauci.
