After many cases of Covid-19 reported by IPL teams, the pandemic has now penetrated into BIO-BUBBLE, where the Star Sports LIVE broadcast team is located. According to an Outlook report, 14 Four Seasons employees have tested positive as Star Sports World's global nutrition staff remains positive.

The 14 are part of the bubble that contains the employees who will produce the global IPL Live 2021 broadcast.

They were part of the main production team, and are housed in a vital bubble at the Four Seasons Hotel in Mumbai. These included videographers, producers, directors, EVS players, and video editors.

Star Sports director Sanjuj Gupta refused to shed light on the matter.

"Check with BCCI ... We're not running the Four Seasons bubble," STAR Sports CEO Sanjuj Gupta said to Outlook when asked if there is any cause for concern.

It should be noted that BCCI has created several BIO-BUBBLES for various stakeholders associated with IPL 2021.

In particular, this is not the first time last week that cases have been reported from management. Previously, it reported 8-10 IPL event managers tested positive for Covid-19.

Despite this, BCCI decided to continue in Mumbai as the IPL site for the first phase of the league.
