Lake Buena Vista, Fla. – Now that the MLS is Back tournament has concluded, I wanted to reflect on what it was like for a non-bubble member to cover games.Every time I got approved for a credential, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Only one credential was given out to each outlet, and I was the only person approved for News 6 WKMG. The application process was done online through a form and selecting what matches I wanted to cover.The day of each match at 2 a.m., MLS sent out a health screening assessment form.
This included questions about whether or not I had any COVID-19 symptoms, if I had traveled abroad, if I had been around anyone diagnosed with the virus, if I had any reason to believe if I had been exposed or if I had a fever at any.
