NHL plans to test players for COVID-19 daily if games resume

Washington, June 1 (Xinhua) With the crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic still deepening in the United States, the National Hockey League (NHL) confirmed on Monday that it will test all the players for the coronavirus daily if games resume.

"We will have a rigorous daily testing protocol where players are tested every evening and those results are obtained before they would leave their hotel rooms the next morning, so we'll know if we have a positive test and whether the player has to self-quarantine himself as a result of that positive test," NHL Deputy commissioner Bill Daly said on Monday.
