The NFL released a memo on Thursday updating the regulations for vaccinated players returning from COVID-19 protocols.
The league‘s previous COVID-19 protocols were that vaccinated players and staff needed to produce two negative tests separated by 24 hours and be free of symptoms to return earlier than a 10-day quarantine period.
On Thursday, the NFL announced that vaccinated players and staff who are asymptomatic for at least 24 hours can return as soon as the day after their initial positive test from one of the league‘s three options outlined in the memo.
Players can receive two PCR test results that are either negative or produce Cycle Threshold values of 35 or greater.
