Fauci can’t see how games can happen with fans in arenas.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, USA’s leading expert on infectious diseases and coronavirus, said that major leagues can return from the hiatus they’re currently if three requirements are met: 1) No fan presence in stadiums or arenas, 2) players being confined and under surveillance and 3) weekly tests on players.

“There’s a way of doing that: Nobody comes to the stadium,” Fauci said in an interview with Peter Hamby when asked about the possibility of an abbreviated baseball season and games in early autumn. “Put [the players] in big hotels, wherever you want to play, keep them very well surveilled. … Have them tested every single week and make sure they don’t wind up infecting each other or their family and just let them play the season out.”

It has to be noted that Fauci was referring to the coronavirus situation in the United States and some of the leagues that are held in outdoor arenas.
