NBA/NHL/MLB - closed locker rooms and controlled access press conferences. Fans still allowed, but restrictions are being discussed. LeBron said he hates the idea of no fans, but understands why that might have to happen (after saying no way yesterday - said he hadn't thought about it which is fair).
NCAA - on record saying games will go on as planned with fans, but hedged a bit saying they reserve the right to change that position. As I've said, with infections growing in almost every first round location, I'll be surprised if fans are allowed in. Two conferences had tourneys without fans.
In the US, local/state edicts might supersede what the organizations want; for example the Ohio Gov has said no large public events; same for the Seattle area and surely more will follow. I'd be surprised if we see fans at sporting events in NYC/LA for more than another week, given infection acceleration rates in these areas.
There is a potential "instant test" in the works (3-4 weeks away at least) in the UK - could imagine that being used to screen attendees at large events, but it would still take a few hours, presumably.
European Soccer - almost all countries now having games without fans (except England), although the French league is proposing capping things at 1000 fans (as per government policy). No sporting events at all being held in Italy, given how bad things are there.
Olympics - still on for now, but contingencies being considered; surely the folks in Tokyo are hoping that things peter out a bit by this summer.
