A UAE-based multi-hospital and medical services chain VPS Healthcare has been chosen by the BCCI to conduct over 20,000 COVID-19 tests for the people involved in the IPL 2020 in UAE. All the players and supporting staff will be tested regularly throughout the tournament, with initial rounds of testing already completed before their arrival to Dubai. The testing procedures will continue right up to the departure of the teams to ensure maximum safety and minimize the chances of spread within the bubble currently in place. VPS Healthcare will also be responsible for the maintenance and logistics of the biosecure bubble for all IPL personnel in the UAE.

A press release by the BCCI also stated that they were in talks with VPS to provide other allied medical services if required at any time during the tournament. The company has also been involved in arranging medical facilities for major sports events based out of the UAE such as Formula 1, UFC, and some cricket matches that take place in the UAE.
