[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 713636, member: 2843"] NASCAR's plan to play. Here is some of the measures they are taking to protect participants, officials, etc. Some of this is NASCAR specific; but much of this sounds like doable best practices for any fanless event. Hope it works smoothly and other pro sports follow quickly. [I]After consultation with various medical and health officials at local, state and national levels, this is what NASCAR is planning for team members, drivers and others working upcoming races: [/I] [LIST] [*][I]Anyone who will work at the track is being asked to self-monitor for five days for symptoms before the event.[/I] [*][I]Each person working at the track must fill out a questionnaire on their health and go through a temperature screening check.[/I] [*][I]If there are concerns based on a person’s temperature, they will go through additional screening that will include monitoring heart rate and oxygenation.[/I] [*][I]There also will be additional screening for essential personnel.[/I] [*][I]Temperature checks will be done randomly throughout the event.
