Major League Soccer is hoping for a more normal 2021 season, but even with vaccinations accelerating across the country, Covid-19 promises to be an ever-present factor throughout the year.
To that end, the league has provided updated health and safety protocols for 2021.
The protocols hope to stem the numbers of positive Covid-19 tests, which hampered the league’s return to play in 2020, and still impact operations as MLS hopes to play a relatively uninterrupted season.
According to a release from the league, the polices and protocols were developed by MLS’s medical department, “in consultation with infectious disease specialists and based on guidance from government health authorities, as well as in collaboration with the MLS Players Association.”
