The New York Rangers now know what safety procedures will be in place when they resume play as the NHL and NHLPA have tentatively agreed on protocols to resume play. The newly agreed-upon protocols cover Phase 3 and 4 of the NHL’s return-to-play plan and cover items such as testing and how the return-to-play would be called off if the COVID-19 virus cannot be contained. The NHL’s board of governors and the full membership of the NHLPA will vote on both the CBA extension and the return-to-play protocols that were agreed to on Sunday.

According to Frank Seravalli of TSN, every person inside the NHL’s “bubble” will be tested for COVID-19 daily via nasal swab, also administered temperature checks and symptom screenings.
