Photo Credit: Colby Spence (Illegal Curve) According to Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press the team indicated that Wheeler was: “symptomatic positive” for COVID per the team. All other players tested negative today. This is from the NHL covid protocols on ENDING ISOLATION: Players or Club personnel whose test has been confirmed positive shall remain in isolation until all of the following conditions have been satisfied: • If at least 10 days have passed since symptoms first appeared, and at least 24 hours have passed since last fever without the use of fever-reducing medications, and symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of breath, etc.) have improved (with the exception of continued loss of taste or smell so long as other symptoms have improved). • In addition, the Club Physician, its infectious disease expert, and any other treating physician providing care to the individual, must conclude that the individual no longer presents a risk of infection to others, and that it is medically appropriate (given individual and local circumstances) to terminate the requirement for self-isolation. • The termination of the isolation requirement is consistent with applicable local public health regulations or other requirements. Tough news for the Jets captain.
