Common Sense: NHL To Stop Testing Asymptomatic Players And Staff

(Undated) — The NHL is planning to stop testing asymptomatic players and staff members following the All-Star break. The league and player’s association came to an agreement on the matter, but will meet later in the month to assess the climate and formalize. The NHL will still test all players and staff before international travel between the United States and Canada. According to data, 73-percent of the league has tested positive for COVID this season. The NHL and NHLPA do not plan to require the booster vaccine.
