As of July 10, an NFLPA database shows that 72 NFL players have tested positive for COVID-19.
The NFLPA is now making this sort of information available. It also includes which cities the “hot-spots” in the United States and where COVID-19 numbers are increasing and decreasing.

Some NFL have been outspoken about not participating in the NFL season if it is not safe enough to play. Ideas that have been discussed are frequent testing, limiting fans and face shields for players to wear with their helmets.
