As reported by CNBC, the NBA will give each player a \u201csmart ring\u201d\u00a0that can measure body temperature, respiratory functions and heart rate, which are all things that can signal whether or not someone is sick.\u00a0 All players and essential staff members will be given the option to participate in health monitoring using the ring. The titanium rings, reportedly made by Oura, are capable of predicting\u00a0COVID-19 symptoms up to three days in advance with 90% accuracy, according to the company.<\/p>\n
Players will also be given access to a MagicBand that they will be required to wear at all times, except during workouts and games. The Disney MagicBand will act as a hotel room key and let players check in at security checkpoints and coronavirus screenings. It\u2019s similar to the device of the same name that Disney World guests can use for access to hotels and payments for food and gifts inside the park. The MagicBands can also help the league with contact tracing. The league is investigating a way to use the bands to know if a player diagnosed with Covid-19 has come into contact with another player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
