NHL detects largest outbreak of Covid-19 since March / Article / LSM.lv

The National Hockey League (NHL) club “Golden Knights” in Vegas had a positive Covid-19 analysis, with at least four players in the league since March the largest number in a single team, the broadcaster TSN reported on Tuesday. Several members of the hockey family also have positive analyzes.

All infected players are in self-isolation and their treatment is going well, Golden Knights reported. According to unofficial information, the number of infected players could be higher, but the club confirmed only four cases on Monday without naming the players.

To reduce the risk, Golden Knights locker rooms, a gym and other facilities used by the team will be closed to hockey players and club staff by the end of the week. The club issued a statement that it was following the instructions of the responsible authorities so as not to endanger the health of the team and the people associated with its members.

In North America, viewers question whether the NHL will be able to start next season in early January. The NHL has not officially named the start of the new season, and travel restrictions between Canada and the United States due to the pandemic add to the problem. The National Basketball Association’s (NBA) Canadian club, the Toronto Raptors, announced this weekend that home games will take place in the US city of Tampa because they were not allowed to take on opponents on their field.
