00:07news this week when it was

00:10three hundred two players that
00:12were tested for coronavirus
00:13tested positive. That is a
00:15relatively low number compared
00:17to what some executives and
00:18league officials feared that
00:20ultimately might be so it gives
00:22the league hope. That going
