Cleveland Browns shut facility for sixth time in past month

The Cleveland Browns closed their practice facility Wednesday after a staff member tested positive for COVID-19. The team announced that contact tracing is ongoing to identify any potential high-risk close contacts.

This is the sixth time the facility has been closed for contact tracing since Nov. 13. Five players from the active roster tested positive for the coronavirus over the past three weeks, forcing the team to close its facility multiple times to allow for contact tracing.
