Default KHL - 30 players on Lokomotiv Yaroslavl test positive for COVID-19



https://twitter.com/user/status/1308416008017899523

Their roster includes Flames' draft pick Rushan Rafikov and former Oilers, Anton Lander and Magnus Pääjärvi.


They have forfeited today's game, giving Kunlun Red Star its first win of the season.

Holy. What sort of roster size do KHL teams have? That is just 30 players. Staff will probably be impacted too.

Given the incubation period, it seems likely that teams they played against have, or will have outbreaks too.

Having to forfeit over your team having contracted covid is crazy.

Hard not to harbour stereotypes about Russia when a team is basically punished for disclosing something about an unsafe condition.

I'm guessing "passed positive tests" is a lost-in-translation thing?

Well it's negative that they tested positive. So in a way, they passed the test of being positive, negatively.
