According to reports, the NFL/NFLPA made a major change to their COVID-19 protocols on Tuesday.
Now, anyone with “high risk” close contact exposure to a COVID-19 positive individual must be isolated for a minimum of five days, even if the person remains asymptomatic.
As noted by Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, his means if a player tests positive for COVID-19 after Tuesday during a game week, that player and all “high risk” close contacts would miss at least one game and potentially more based on testing, symptoms, etc. Social distancing more important than ever.
