The National Hockey League announced new coronavirus safety protocols Thursday to try to stop potential outbreaks, which will include doing same-day rapid tests for players, team personnel and on-ice officials. That will be in addition to daily PCR testing, which is more accurate, but takes 12 to 24 hours to get results.

There are currently five NHL teams on pause because of players on the Covid list, either due to positive tests or contact tracing.
