NFL Spokesman: All League ‘Personnel Should Comply With State And Local Regulations’ On Social Distancing

Virtually the entirety of the United States at this point in one way or another has issued some variety of ‘stay-at-home’ order in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, restricting travel to only essential business, such as going to work, buying food or medicine, receiving medical attention, or caring for relatives.

While the enforcement of these guidelines varies widely by region, the federal government itself has issued statements discouraging gatherings of 10 or more people. This recently came under scrutiny within the NFL after it was rumored that Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott threw a birthday gathering attended by upwards of 30 people, including teammate Ezekiel Elliott.
