1.Teams were sent memos today outlining the new and enhanced protocols which are effective immediately. They include the risk of being 'prohibited from further participation in the 2020 season' for repeated or flagrant violation of said protocols.
2.The refusal to wear face covering when required to and reminded to do so qualifies for prohibition. The league will send written warnings prior to any action taking place.
3.Other measures effective immediately:
-Face coverings required EVERYWHERE. Dugouts, hotels, bullpens, etc. All except field of play
-Surgical masks are required on planes and buses. No cloth coverings.
4.When at home, players are prohibited from going to bars, malls or any large gatherings.
-Players must get permission from their compliance officer before leaving the hotel
-Clubs must reduce the numbers in their traveling parties to personnel 'essential' to playing the game
