A pandemic of the novel coronavirus has now infected more than 61 million people and killed over 1.4 million worldwide, according to real-time data compiled by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University.
The National Football League is closing all team facilities to in-person activities on Monday and Tuesday.
The ban doesn't apply to teams scheduled to play on those days, including a Steelers-Ravens game on Tuesday that's already been rescheduled twice.
The NFL cited in a league-wide memo rising COVID-19 cases in the U.S. and the "understanding that a number of players and staff celebrated the Thanksgiving holiday with out-of-town guests" as reasons for the closures.

Religious gatherings and protests are exempt from the temporary order, which will remain in effect through Dec. 20.
The measures come as the county continues to see "alarming levels" of new COVID-19 cases and increasing hospitalizations, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health said.
As of Wednesday, outdoor dining in the county is on pause for the next three weeks.
Officials had warned additional lockdown measures would come once the five-day average of cases reached 4,500. On Friday, that number was 4,751.

Vermont officials are urging people who had Thanksgiving gatherings with those outside their household to now quarantine.
“My request to Vermonters who may have participated in travel and/or multi-household gatherings is simply this: Please quarantine yourselves at home, and please get tested now and in seven days,” state Health Commissioner Dr. Mark Levine said during a press briefing Friday.
Gov. Phil Scott echoed the health commissioner’s request.
“If you have had one of those gatherings yesterday, then you shouldn't send your kids to school next week," he said. "You should quarantine your kids for at least seven days, get a test, and then we'll move forward."
Unfortunately, we know some will still get together and schools have asked for help. @VTEducation will direct schools to ask students or parents if they were part of multi-family gatherings and if the answer is yes, they'll need to go remote for 14 days or 7 days and a test. 9/

Scott said earlier in the week that school officials will ask returning students if they attended a Thanksgiving gathering with people outside their household to determine quarantine requirements.
"We did all of this to try and protect Vermont, to try and prevent the rise in the number of cases," Scott said Friday.
