There’s one thing we know and that’s bubbles work in the world of pro sports.
Look at the NHL, who on Monday announced that no positive COVID-19 tests have come back. Between Aug. 23-29, the league conducted 2,814 tests in the Edmonton and Toronto bubbles with none coming back positive.
The league has been frantically testing all members of clubs’ 52-person travelling parties since teams joined the bubbles.
Since teams left their respective cities to join the bubbles, 27,356 COVID-19 tests have been conducted.
