The sports that could be played while social distancing

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on just about every facet of society, including sports. On March 11, the NBA postponed its season after Utah Jazz centre Rudy Gobert tested positive for the virus, and sports leagues around the world followed suit shortly after.

While some sports—particularly those that involve contact, like football and hockey—would be difficult to play while following the guidelines set out by health authorities to prevent the spread of the virus, others could be played while still maintaining a safe social distance.
