.MapleLeafs players already in Toronto are undergoing testing for COVID-19 as the NHL shifts into Phase 2 of its return-to-play plan on Monday.
— while another “four or five” have crossed the border and commenced their mandatory 14-day quarantine in Canada.The Maple Leafs are in talks with the government to find out if their returning players can quarantine both at home and their sanitized workplace, Dubas noted.
“Our strong hope is that most, if not all, of the 24 teams coming back to play will have the ability to test their players prior to engaging in Phase 2. And our Phase 2 protocol, I think, specifically specifies testing at least twice weekly and perhaps more,” NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said last week.
“The one issue that we continue to work actively on is the mandatory federal quarantine that is in place in Canada for all people who travel into Canada, and we are having various discussions with various different departments, the Canadian government. We don’t have a resolution there, but it’s an ongoing dialogue for sure.”
The Pittsburgh Penguins announced Thursday that one of their players had tested positive for COVID-19 and has been isolating since first experiencing symptoms. The move to Phase 3 of the NHL’s return to action, full-team training camp, will not occur until at least July 10.
