(Reuters) - The
NFL will prohibit in-person meetings at team facilities for two
days after games as part of its evolving COVID-19 protocols
designed to mitigate the risk of exposure and transmission of
the virus.
Effective on Monday, all meetings during the two-day period may
only be done virtually, according to a memo sent to teams on
Thursday and obtained by Reuters on Friday.
Teams playing on short weeks - a Sunday game followed by one on
Thursday - are exempt from the new rule.
According to the memo, coaches may access the team facility
during the two-day period but only to work independently in
their individual offices.
Clubs can also schedule players to use the weight room or
practice field so long as those areas are under video camera
surveillance, which is recorded. Players may not work out
together.
