They are planning on players (and all other personnel) and their immediate families to stay pretty much in lockdown for the season. Players and all other personnel will be tested daily. And any individual that does test positive is to be isolated, monitored and treated (if needed) until deemed clear and can then return.

There is not going to be any mass quarantining. Rosters and practice squads will be increased to handle temporary loss of individual players.

There is also a good possibility that much of the league will already have had the virus by the beginning of the season and shouldn't be an issue come season. So far all of the reported player cases have been either asymptomatic or extremely mild.

It is still almost three months from the beginning of the season. I have little doubt the season will take place and can't wait.
