How did the NFL handle COVID-19 isolation for vaccinated players?

When vaccinated NFL players and staff caught COVID-19, the league had a plan: a 'test-to-release' strategy. This approach meant people could potentially leave isolation earlier than standard guidelines if they tested negative, aiming to get players back on the field and staff back to work. The study looked at how this strategy was used, but it doesn't tell us the results—like whether it led to more spread or if it got people back safely. Because this is an observational look at one specific group (professional athletes and their coworkers), we can't say if a similar approach would work for the general public. The research also doesn't report on any safety problems or how well the strategy actually performed. It's simply a snapshot of what one organization tried during the pandemic.
