Although the NFL hasn't altered any of its schedules yet, the league is paying attention to updates regarding the coronavirus worldwide.

"We are closely monitoring developments and have been in contact with The World Health Organization, CDC and the NFL-NFLPA medical experts at the Duke Infection Control Outreach Network (DICON) Program for Infection Prevention," league spokesman Brian McCarthy said, per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. "We will continue those discussions throughout our offseason."

The league meetings are currently scheduled for March 29 to April 1 in Palm Beach, Florida, while the first round of the NFL draft is set for April 23 in Las Vegas.
