NEW YORK (SNN-TV) – The NFL and NFL Players Association have suspended all league-wide COVID-19 protocols effective immediately, pausing two years of largely successful efforts to play through the pandemic.
Teams received a memo this morning detailing the decision, which was “based on current encouraging trends regarding the prevalence and severity” of the coronavirus.
Team employees will no longer face surveillance testing, regardless of vaccination status, or mask requirements.
Teams can choose to impose their own mask policies if desired. They’re still required to comply with any state and local public health regulations.
