NFL Issues Memo Notifying Teams All Facilities Will Shut Down Tonight Due To Coronavirus

While pretty much every team has in some capacity informally taken these same or similar steps, the NFL is today making it official that all team facilities as of 6PM will be shut down to all but essential personnel, such as those who administer medical treatment, provide security, or maintain the technology that enables employees to work remotely.

The league had previously announced that team facilities are closed to all player personnel except for those who are undergoing treatments of some kind or another, which would, for example, include the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, who is continuing to rehab from elbow surgery.
