The NFL is closing all its team facilities due to concerns about the coronavirus pandemic.

According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell sent a memo to the 32 teams saying facilities will close—outside of limited exceptions—Wednesday evening until April 8 when the league will reassess the situation. The memo said teams can continue conducting offseason business such as signing free agents.

ESPN's Adam Schefter shared the memo on Twitter:

Pelissero noted this won't be much of an adjustment for some teams that have already closed facilities or others who have limited personnel inside their buildings.
