Coronavirus is beginning to impact the NHL

After spreading for awhile, the novel coronavirus has begun to have its impact felt in North America. While the primary concern is on the health and well-being of those exposed to the virus, sports entities within North America – including the National Hockey League – are beginning to be impacted as preventative measures are put in place to halt the spread of the virus.

The Flames’ response

The Flames released a statement prior to the weekend about their preventative measures:

As precaution, CSEC has enhanced sanitizing measures at the Scotiabank Saddledome which include additional hand sanitizing stations, sanitizing equipment and cleaning staff.
