WKYC: Cleveland Browns’ coronavirus response plan approved by NFLPA
The NFL Players Association has approved the Cleveland Browns’ Infectious Disease Emergency Response plan.
As a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, each team was required to submit an IDER plan to the NFLPA for approval. Once the plan is approved by the league and independent experts at Duke University, teams are permitted to have more than 20 players in their building at a time.
Additionally, training camp schedules have been adjusted to account for testing and safety protocols. That schedule will appear as follows:
- July 28-31: COVID-19 testing and virtual meetings
- August 1-2: Physicals and equipment distribution
- August 3-11: Acclimation period
- August 12-16: Gradual ramp-up period
- August 17-September 6: Contact integration period (practice)
