Canadian Andrew Wiggins, who plays in the Golden State Warriors, one of the American Basketball League (NBA) teams, will not be able to play in the home matches of his team if he continues to refuse to be vaccinated against the new type of coronavirus (Kovid-19).
In the statement made by the NBA, it was stated that the Golden State Warriors would not be able to play in the home games unless the application of Wiggins, who demanded the right to exemption from the vaccine for religious reasons, was rejected and there was no vaccination.
The necessity for Kovid-19 vaccines in the USA is determined according to the decisions taken by the health department of the region where the teams are located. In San Francisco, where the Golden State Warriors are affiliated, people aged 12 and over have to go to indoor organizations with vaccinations.
In addition to San Francisco, New York City also has an obligation for the vaccine. For this reason, players in the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets teams, as well as the Golden State Warriors, need to be vaccinated. While the New York Knicks management announced that all players have been vaccinated, the Brooklyn Nets stated that a few more players will be vaccinated.
Players who do not have to be vaccinated in their place of residence and who want to go to the field without vaccination this season in the NBA must take the Kovid-19 test once a day.
The NBA announced that 85% of all players were vaccinated at the end of last season.
