The National Football League is no exception, and this week they've made some significant changes in the hopes of preventing further outbreaks.

On Monday, all 32 NFL teams were notified of new, much stricter Cove in 19 protocols.

The changes were announced in a memo from Commissioner Roger Goodell obtained by CNN.

If it's discovered that club personnel or players aren't following the rules, the discipline could include heavy finds, the adjustment or loss of draft choices and even the forfeit of a game which could create a major competitive imbalance.

And get this.

They're even implementing a new video monitoring system.

They'll be using this technology to make sure that everyone is complying with the league's mandate that team personnel where personal protective equipment PPE at all times while in a team facility or traveling.

This comes as New England Patriots QB Cam Newton tested positive for the virus and at least 20 separate Covad cases were reported by the Tennessee Titans, and the NFL is already putting its money where its mouth is.

They've issued fines against 10 members of the Las Vegas Raiders, a league source told CNN.

The fines come one week after the 10 Raiders players failed to wear face coverings while attending a fundraiser hosted by tight end Darren Waller.

Waller was fined $30 while his nine teammates had to pay $15 each.
