Major League Baseball has issued a memo to teams outlining relaxed protocols for vaccinated players, coaches and staff members.

The internal memo "strongly encouraged" players and staff members to receive one of the approved COVID-19 vaccines.

Individuals who are vaccinated can gather without masks in hotel rooms, carpool together, play cards on airplanes, eat at restaurants, meet outdoors while on the road with anyone of their choosing and stay at personal residences when traveling, among other things.
