Report: Lightning Training Facility Closed after Positive COVID-19 Tests

The Lightning shut down their training facility after several team members tested positive for COVID-19, ESPN reported on Friday.

Two players and three staffers tested positive, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie. The tests came back during mandatory twice-weekly testing, which is required by the NHL.

Amalie Arena will be closed until at least July 6, the Tampa Bay Times reported.

Other Lightning personnel who have recently been inside the facility are now being tested. The NHL and Lightning leadership will decide how to proceed after those test results come back.
