MLB To Relax COVID-19 Protocols For Fully-Vaccinated Players, Staff

(New York, NY) -- Major League Baseball says it will relax protocols on players once the majority of their teammates and staff have gotten immunized.  

The league says once 85-percent of "Tier One" players and staff on a team have been fully-vaccinated, players will be allowed to travel with their families, go to restaurants, and not wear a mask on the bench or in the bullpen.  

The loosened guidelines only apply to those that are fully vaccinated.  

The announcement comes as the league prepares for Opening Day coming up Thursday.
