NHL Plans To Test Players For COVID-19 Daily If Games Resume

The NHL plans to test players for the coronavirus daily if games resume.

Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said, “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.”

And that will be expensive costing a few million dollars… with each test costing approximately $125 and the NHL estimating 25,000-35,000 will be needed to get through the playoffs.
