WATCH: the tech and practices at work keeping the Disney restart safe

We have started getting glimpses of how the Boston Celtics and other teams are adjusting to life inside the so-called Disney ‘bubble’ in the Orlando-area restart hosted at the Wide World of Sports complex in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

But how is life for the handful of reporters allowed inside to join them?

USA TODAY Sports’ own Mark Medina is among that select cadre of intrepid reporters ensconced within the Disney NBA campus in central Florida, and he has shared a pair of videos outlining what it has been like for him since his arrival in what will be his home until mid-October.

In the first, Medina breaks down how the campus is laid out, what his Coronado Springs digs are like, the general safety requirements and how the media help maintain them, and what his short-term future will be like as he adapts to ‘bubble’ life.

The second video dials into the technology and practices used to keep media, players and staff alike safe on the NBA campus, ranging from the testing protocol to the technology they use.

This includes “magic bands”, special apps, thermometers, fingertip pulse monitors and more, so check the clips out for yourself, if you want to know more about how the Disney restart works.
