The NFL is suspending all the COVID-19 protocols and restrictions that have been in place throughout the pandemic. The changes are effective immediately, according to a memorandum issues to all 32 NFL clubs during the 2022 NFL scouting combine.
The changes impact everything from mandatory mask wearing to social distancing and location tracking inside club facilities. All of those restrictions are now suspended due to the “encouraging current trends regarding the prevalence and severity of COVID-19” across the country.
Here’s the lead page of the memo distributed to all NFL clubs, courtesy of Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network:
The restrictions and protocols could return if deemed necessary, and teams whose local governments require additional protocols must still follow local mandates.
