Participants who have returned to India after overseas tours in the last 15 days will have to undergo 7 days mandatory quarantine and test negative on Day 8 & 9 (twice). That’s the reason foreign representatives of teams have already entered BI0-BUBBLE in BENGALURU. BCCI will keep a close watch on those arriving at the team hotel on February 11. They will be monitored for COVID-19 symptoms. The testing will be conducted between 12 am to 7 am to ensure smooth conduct of the IPL 2022 Auction on February 12-13. The members will stay in their rooms until declared negative for the virus. Only the participants who pass the test and complete quarantine norms will be eligible to take part.
