"As NFL players arrive at training camp this week, each person will be given a wearable smart tag that will monitor the physical distance of their interactions and for how long they occur. Inside the NBA’s bubble, the sound of beeping indicating social distancing has been compromised, has become part of the new normal. Kinexon’s SafeZone tags are the latest tool the NBA and NFL are using to monitor social distancing and also to provide contact tracing in the event a player tests positive. It’s all part of the new reality as sports leagues are investing their money and resources into tools to allow them to return to action safely."
