COVID-19 has affected a lot of things throughout the world, but one of the most affected things is sports. COVID has convinced many professional leagues to suspend their activities. Even the Summer Olympics has been pushed back a year just because of COVID. But some teams are still playing sports like soccer, baseball, tennis, and many more. But the CDC has a guide to staying safe during COVID while playing.
Tennis is a sport that you can still play during COVID. You are distanced while playing and it is overall very safe. COVID has not affected tennis that much and it would be great to play with a friend. Soccer is a sport that has been affected a lot and has more guidelines. When you play soccer on a public team or just with friends it would be a good idea to keep a mask on and social distance when you are not playing. After a game, be sure to wash your hands to keep safe.
The NFL has continued! The regular season was canceled on March 12th but they have returned. But all players of the NFL are being tested for COVID as well. It looks like even though COVID has canceled a lot of sports events, some are making a comeback. We can still stay safe while playing sports and having fun!
