I'm hoping the team doctors take their job seriously then and only clear players to play if it is safe for them to do so. If that means that some players might not be cleared for weeks due to lingering symptoms then that's how it should be.
Ideally they should be able to call up AHL players to ensure they have a full roster for practices and games and just reintroduce players back into practice as they recover from COVID as they would following a return from injury. It is of course a special case due to the number of players affected at the same time - but in a way this might be similar to if the team got into a bus crash where a bunch of players got whiplash/broken bones - what would a team do in that situation?
