The Colorado Avalanche announced that a second player has tested positive for COVID-19, the highly contagious virus that has caused a worldwide pandemic. The team has said the player is in self-isolation.
The announcement comes on the heels of a similar announcement from two days ago about a player who had tested positive. It was said he had already recovered. The current announcement is that no other players or staff have shown symptoms of the virus.
Players will not get tested unless they show symptoms. All Avalanche players are currently in self-quarantine per NHL mandates.
