quarterback Drew Lock will not be playing in Thursday’s preseason home game against the Chicago Bears after testing positive for COVID-19. The Seahawks have kept reported COVID-19 infections to a minimum since the pandemic began in 2020, and even this offseason/preseason it looks like confirmed positives have happened to just Lock and head coach Pete Carroll.
You might be curious as to why testing has continued even though the NFL and NFLPA lifted COVID-19 protocols back in March. Well beyond pandemic not actually being over, the protocols removed included no longer having to wear the tracking devices, no more mandatory testing for personnel , and the removal of masking requirements .
However, what did remain in place was effectively an honor system as far as individuals checking themselves for any possible COVID symptoms.“All individuals must continue to monitor themselves for symptoms on a daily basis prior to entering the club facility. Any individual experiencing COVID symptoms must promptly report them to the club [Infection Control Officer] and must be tested and receive a negative test result prior to entering the club facility.
Then once June rolled around, COVID surveillance testing of personnel was also eliminated. But that didn’t mean an elimination of testing entirely. COVID testing still should occur"when clinically indicated and/or at the direction of the Club Physician," and any individual experiencing symptoms must promptly report them and receive a negative test before entering the club facility.
