This will be applicable to the team owners as well.

Hence, anybody’s exit from the bio bubble is prohibited for unusual activities.
4. Green Zone:
All the players will have a separate check-in Counter at the hotels. This is step has been taken to ensure that there is a complete cut-off from the people in any hotel. This will help the management to ensure the players remain separated from any outside elements throughout the transit of the players from their room to the ground.

Before the player enters the bio bubble, the players who are not coming from any other bio bubble will have to go through RT-PCR tests three times. It will be repeated for seven days. When the report of their RT-PCR test comes negative, they will be allowed to enter into the bio bubble.
6. Bio Bubble Integrity Managers:
A four-member team will be assigned as the ‘bubble integrity managers’ will be observing that there is no violation of the bio bubble in any way. One team will be allotted to each franchise. The committee will be keeping and strict eye on the players and also on the support staff to ensure they are following the rules. In addition, this will be the possibility to update and inform the authorities if there is any breach of the bio bubble protocols.
7. One hotel for one team:
The BCCI and the officials have taken one for the tab to prevent any possibility of risk. They will be ensuring that nobody can join other team members at the hotel. Therefore, BCCI has taken this step for the teams that they should try to book the entire hotels for the squad. In case booking of the entire Hotel is not possible, at least an entire wing of that Hotel should be reserved for the team. Also so this part would remain sealed off for the person who is not part of the team. This step has been taken to minimize the possibilities of any physical interaction of the outsiders with the team.
