” Major League Baseball and us as a company have done a wonderful task of monitoring this daily,” he stated. “Were getting our temperature levels taken 3 times a day. If we have signs were getting inspected right away, so we are keeping an eye on closely on a day-to-day basis everyone who has actually touched with anybody who has symptoms and taking the right steps.”
