United States.- The closure of Week 14 of the National Football League (NFL) lives a concern derived from the number of infections due to Covid-19 that have been confirmed on this Monday, December 13 of the present, which exceeds 37 cases, the highest value since 2020.
And it is that, according to the ESPN journalist, Adam Schefter, internal sources to the tackling championship reported that at the beginning of the week there was a reappearance of positive cases due to this disease, even when the players and managers have some of the booster vaccines against Coronavirus.
However the arrival of the strain Omicron of the Covid-19 begins to affect the elements that represent the league one month after the end of the 2021-22 regular season, being Los Angeles RAMS the most affected franchise within hours of playing Monday Night Football (MNF), against the Arizona Cardinals at the University of Phoenix Stadium.
“The NFL had 37 positive tests for Covid-19 in total throughout this day, league sources said,” Adam Schefter mentioned on his official Twitter account, supplemented by the fact that 86 percent of infections caused by this virus were originated outside the facilities of one of the franchises.

COVID-19 HITS THE NFL AGAIN
What exists on this day is a recap of what the NFL tolerated last year, where several of their regular season games had to alter the schedule by shifting their games to the next day, with Pittsburgh vs. Ravens being the most damaged, as it was postponed up to four days when it should have been played on Thursday night, but the Cuervos franchise had a scourge of contagion so it was not possible to hold this game.
For now, it is expected that this figure is not the danger of canceling one of the following tournament grids, although the commissioners would plan to organize a meeting that will serve as a solution, in which case the positive cases due to Covid-19 are going to increase.
