NEW YORK—Just 0.7% of Major League Baseball employees tested positive for antibodies to COVID-19, the illness caused by the CCP virus.

The small number of positive tests, announced Sunday, was taken as positive news by a sport pushing ahead with plans to start its delayed season. MLB employees have been able to protect themselves from infection, but this means almost all remain susceptible to the virus.
