The 49ers have received permission from Santa Clara County officials to open training camp on time Thursday at the team’s practice facility near Levi’s Stadium, sources told NBC Sports Bay Area.
Neither the county nor the 49ers issued an announcement of the agreement for camp to open on time, but the sides have been known to be in constant communication during the coronavirus pandemic. The groups have engaged in recent virtual conferences to discuss concerns and answer questions.
One of the issues county health officials raised was the concern that COVID-19 tests for 49ers players, coaches and staff members would impact the community.
