Players and coaches who were deemed "high-risk individuals" by their team, or players who had already suffered season-ending injuries prior to season suspension, were not permitted to play and also did not lose any salary. Any player who was medically cleared could also decline to participate, but as a result lost their corresponding paychecks.<a href="#cite_note-safety_plan-107">[107]</a> Phase 1 of the plan ran from June 16 to 22, consisting of players traveling back to the home cities of their respective teams.

Anybody who left the bubble without prior approval had to be quarantined for at least 10 days.<a href="#cite_note-safety_plan-107">[107]</a> During Phase 5 from July 22 to 29, teams played three scrimmages against the other teams staying at the same hotel.
