The league said it had conducted 40,479 tests
on players and staff from Sept. 6 through Saturday and that
those who had returned positive results would go into
self-isolation until they are reassessed.
"Individuals who test positive for COVID-19 follow the joint
NFL-NFL Players Association Treatment Protocol," the NFL said in
a statement.
"They are immediately isolated, not permitted to access club
facilities or have direct contact with players and or personnel.
Club medical staff are in regular communication with individuals
who test positive to monitor symptoms."
