The National Football League (NFL) announced Thursday players and staff would no longer be required to follow dystopian procedures implemented to track and isolate the novel Wuhan coronavirus.
In a memo sent to all 32 teams, the league said it came to an agreement with the NFL Players Association to “suspend all aspects of the joint COVID-19 Protocols, effective immediately.”
“Should there be a reason to impose aspects of the Protocols or to take other measures, we will work closely with clubs, the NFLPA and our respective experts, and local, state and federal public health officials to continue to safeguard the health of the NFL community,” the league added.
