As the world continues to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, FTW is keeping tabs on its impact in sports. This post will remain updated with the latest postponements and cancellations across the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, and college football and basketball.
The omicron variant has prompted leagues to once again update their coronavirus guidelines and best practices. Even with enhanced protocols, many players are contracting the virus and entering isolation as a result. Games have been routinely postponed due to the lack of available players or uncontrolled spread in the locker room.
On Dec. 27, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention decreased the recommended quarantine period from 10 days to five days for those who test positive for the virus.
More information on COVID-19 and vaccinations can be found here.
