The New York Giants pulled their scouts and personnel off the road on Thursday morning due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, but that will not be all.
In addition to removing their presence from the road, the Giants announced on Thursday afternoon that they will limit all visits to the Quest Diagnostics Training Center in East Rutherford and require that most employees work from home for the next two weeks.
“Ten days ago, we convened an internal task force to monitor the developments of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. The group, led by our medical, legal and human resources departments, is responsible for communicating to our organization the latest information, advisories and protocols from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as state and local health officials and other resources,” the team said in a statement.
“As of today and for the foreseeable future, we have taken our scouts and coaches off the road for pro days and campus workouts. All business travel has been suspended until further notice. In addition, we will limit visitors and personnel to the Quest Diagnostics Training Center and have required most of our employees to work from home for the next two weeks.
“We will continue to assess our operations and procedures based on what the medical community and science dictates. Our concern and care is for those in our organization, our staff and players, and the communities in which they live.”
