NFL makes an important move
Now, it’s been revealed that the NFL and NFL Players Association have agreed to halt daily covid testing for unvaccinated players. This move is aligning them with protocols developed last month for vaccinated players and coaches.
ESPN notes that in a memo sent Friday afternoon to teams, the league said it would add unvaccinated players to its existing symptom screening and testing surveillance programs. Anyone who reports symptoms will be tested.
“The NFL’s most recent COVID-19 data release reported that 95% of players and nearly 100% of staff members are vaccinated. The change will apply to a small group of people.”
It’s important to note the fact that there are only eight teams left in the playoffs, and there are roughly 12 unvaccinated players remaining, a source told ESPN.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is one of them.
In the memo, the NFL wrote the following:
“This comprehensive, symptom-based approach to testing reflects our recent experience with the omicron variant and conforms to current public health recommendations and best practices employed in healthcare, and offers the best opportunity for identifying and treating cases promptly and avoiding spread within the facility.”
Stay tuned for more relevant news and make sure to remain safe as well.
