According to hockey insider Chris Johnston of Sportsnet here is what they had to say:

NHL teams have been told that it will be at least one full week — and perhaps longer — before they can reopen facilities.

He also added this about the players specifically:

There are still no confirmed COVID-19 cases among NHL players. Of course, some may be asymptomatic or awaiting test results at this stage.

And that’s the latest news.
