The National Hockey League says no COVID-19 tests have come back positive.
In a statement released Monday, the league said they had conducted 4,644 tests between Aug. 16 and Aug. 22.
Major kudos to the players, team staff and all those working inside of the bubble. It’s been tremendous to see hockey back on and most importantly, that everyone has remained healthy through it.
Since teams embarked for the bubbles in Edmonton and Toronto, a total of 25,542 tests have been conducted.
