Toronto FC and the Vancouver Whitecaps finally left for Florida on Monday after delays related to COVID-19.
Vancouver was originally slated to depart last Wednesday, while Toronto was scheduled to take off last Friday for the MLS Is Back Tournament in the Orlando area.
The Whitecaps had to delay their flight south because of a pair of inconclusive test results. That prompted more tests, which subsequently came back negative.
Toronto pushed its departure to Saturday, citing the need for more time to complete pre-travel coronavirus testing. The club had to postpone again after a member of its travelling party reported “experiencing symptoms,” requiring another round of testing.
