The Vancouver Canucks’ COVID-19 outbreak continues to worsen as more than 20 players and coaches have now tested positive for the virus, according to TSN's Darren Dreger. Sunday's latest news comes on the heels of a report from TSN's Pierre LeBrun, who said the NHL had been operating under the expectation that all members of the team will test positive in the coming days.
The Canucks' outbreak is reportedly being heavily affected by the P.1 variant of COVID-19 that was first identified in Brazil, which represents new terrain for the NHL in its fight against the disease, LeBrun notes.
