On Thursday, US President NFL Roger Goodell informed the team about the new rules of COVID-19. At present, the NFL encourages but does not force players to be vaccinated. These new regulations are also issued to improve the vaccination rate of players.

At present, more than 75% of the players in the league have received at least the first shot of vaccine, and the vaccination rate of the players in the hemisphere team is more than 80%.

After the implementation of the new regulations, unvaccinated players will receive daily testing during the training camp and regular season, must wear masks, and travel will be limited. If an unvaccinated player is infected with the new crown, resulting in a small-scale outbreak, the player’s team will be regarded as giving up the game and will be treated as a loser.

In addition, the two teams related to the game will not pay the player’s salary for the game, and the relevant economic losses will be compensated by the team infecting the player.
