Some are. Most aren't.
Here are the groups. Only those in Groups 1 & 2 will be required to stay within the bubble at all times, staying at the secure hotels. People in Groups 3-5 will not be required to stay at the secure hotels, but are supposed to limit their activities outside the bubble to minimize any potential outside exposure:
Group 1 (players and those with direct access to the players)
- Players

Group 2 (people with core business functions, but little to no direct contact with anyone in Group 1)

Whether they're living inside the bubble or not, everyone will be required to undergo daily temperature and symptom checks. Everyone except those in Group 5 will require daily swab tests.
