Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Jul 9, 2020 1:02 pm

Major League Baseball has completed the intake coronavirus testing required for players and staff to be ready for summer camp workouts.

The eight-day process yielded a total of 66 positive results.

The union informed players Tuesday night that the intake process had ended with the completion of 3,740 tests.

The second phase after the intake process, known as the \"monitoring phase,\" has already begun. Players were informed that the first batch of monitoring results were submitted Tuesday night. The first round of monitoring included 2,111 saliva tests, with 2,101 negative results (99.5%) and 10 positive results (eight players, two staff members).

1.7% positive. They obviously need to shut it down!
