NEW YORK — The NHL is extending its self-quarantine recommendation for players and staff to April 15.
Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly confirmed the extension in an email to The Associated Press.
The league had previously sent out a memo recommending self-quarantining until April 4. So far, four NHL players have tested positive for COVID-19, including two members of the Colorado Avalanche. The names of those players have not been disclosed.
The league and teams are hoping to get players together to skate in small groups once the isolation period is over.
State, provincial and local lockdown regulations across the U.S. and Canada could push back the opening of team facilities.
