There are 35 players currently testing positive for Covid out of the 350 getting tested daily.
Will these 35 players get to have family contact in their hotel rooms?
There is no mention of the numbers who have had Covid and have now tested covid clear.
Austin Matthews was announced to have tested positive for Covid on June 19 18 or more days since he tested positive. Is he good to go?
There is no mention of the results of antibody testing to show who has had covid and recovered. If the NHL has not done that on the 350 or all the members of the players union I would be very surprised. Maybe this information is available to players and that is why they all appear ready to go.
Sometime in the next 2 weeks the Canadian COVID-19 Immunity Task Force will be releasing the results of antibody testing of thousands of Canadians who have donated blood over the last 4 months and is expected that the recovered case rate will be 10 to 20 times what was being reported by only testing symptomatic people.

NHL rules are way more strict than the rules I'm currently working under.
