If everyone on the court washes there hands on site and wipes the balls being used the ability to catch the virus is less likely than winning the lottery.

From what I understand about the virus, I agree with Michigan Kid. What epidemiologist or infectious disease physician has even weighed in on pickleball? Covid-19 is contagious, yes very contagious, but not as contagious as the media has caused everyone to believe. Take a minute to think about it and reflect on all the people who are regularly around people who are positive. Not all of them follow the guidelines all the time, some never follow the guidelines or didn't in the beginning, but yet only a small fraction have been infected. Think about postal workers, military service members, grocery store cashiers, etc. And remember that "epidemiologists and infectious disease physicians" have said repeatedly that it isn't likely you'll get Covid-19 by touching something.
