COVID-19 has infected nearly 1,000,000 people worldwide, including over 200,000 in the United States as of April 1. The surge in novel coronavirus cases has created a dire shortage in personal protective equipment, leaving American doctors and nurses desperate for masks, respirators and gowns to protect against the spread of the virus.

The new law is a long-overdue victory for college football and basketball players, who collectively generate billions of dollars for the NCAA and college athletic programs each year without receiving any financial compensation. Virginia should follow California’s lead to help collegiate athletes get financial payment they deserve.
