A member of the Kelowna Rockets team cohort has tested positive for COVID-19, according to the WHL.
The positive test result was discovered during the initial return to play testing phase, which means the individual will be required to isolate away from the team cohort and follow directions from the regional public health authority.
One other member of the Kelowna Rockets cohort is considered a close contact.
As a result, both individuals have entered into self-isolation.
Due to the fact the positive test result for COVID-19 was discovered during the initial return to play testing phase and prior to the Club beginning team activities, other members of the team cohort are permitted to continue on the original timeline associated with their return to play.
At this time, no WHL Regular Season games involving the Kelowna Rockets are required to be rescheduled.
