Mitigating a COVID-19 Outbreak Among Major League Baseball Players — United States, 2020	2020-10-23		.txt	text/plain	2988	149	52	Certain MLB health and safety protocols, which include frequent diagnostic testing for rapid case identification, isolation of persons with positive test results, quarantine for close contacts, mask wearing, and social distancing, might have limited COVID-19 transmission between teams. The health and safety protocols established tiered, risk-based testing for MLB teams, which called for persons who received a positive SARS-CoV-2 test result to be placed in isolation and for close contacts to be quarantined separately. Before game play on day 4, the index team A player (an asymptomatic tier 1 risk group member who received every other day testing, per protocol) received a positive SARS-CoV-2 real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test result from collection on day 2. Investigators received from MLB a deidentified line list of team members with diagnosed COVID-19, a timeline of the outbreak response, the duration of on-field play by potentially infectious persons (within 24 hours before the date of collection of the test-positive specimen), contact tracing procedures, and the MLB health and safety protocols.	./cache/cord-333909-uco4c946.txt	./txt/cord-333909-uco4c946.txt
