language suggests yes

This is not a new "official" announcement, it's nothing new. Nothing has changed in the last several years. This is only a reminder from the FAA. No larger no fly zones have been made. Everything is exactly the same as it was last week, last month, last year.

Drone. Sad as it is, the media loves that word. One syllable. Whereas sUAS, sUAV, UAV, UAS, and all of the others are 2 or more syllbles, so too hard to say and write.
