The NFL has instructed all teams to close their facilities — with limited exceptions — starting Wednesday because of increased concerns about the growing coronavirus pandemic. The league will reassess the situation on April 8, according to a memo sent to the teams by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
While all teams last week suspended normal business operations in response to the recommendations of medical experts to help slow the spread of COVID-19, Goodell has outlined a strict series of restrictions to which teams must adhere.
