While Major League Baseball currently has no plans to cancel or postpone spring training or regular-season games due to the coronavirus, the league has put in place an internal task force to deal with possible complications in the coming months.
The league distributed a memo to teams on Tuesday morning that made several recommendations.
Players are being advised against taking balls and pens directly from fans for autographs and to avoid handshakes.
MLB is also asking clubs to contact the local public-health authority, an infectious-disease specialist and to make sure players are up-to-date on all vaccinations.
