The National Hockey League announced that it has received no new positive Covid-19 test results during the past week inside the league’s two hub cities of Toronto and Edmonton.
Every member of each team’s traveling party was tested on a daily basis between Aug. 2 and Aug. 8.
Since entering its two hub city “bubbles,” the league has not returned a positive test from any of the 24 teams participating in the NHL’s return to play.

President Trump is calling on college sports leaders to allow the student athletes to play this season, as they consider canceling or postponing play due to the pandemic.
“The student-athletes have been working too hard for their season to be cancelled,” the President tweeted Monday, adding the hashtag #WeWantToPlay. He also retweeted Clemson University’s Trevor Lawrence, who tweeted the same hashtag.
Leaders from college sports’ “Power Five” conferences over the weekend discussed postponing the football season and other fall sports, according to reports from multiple sports news outlets including ESPN, Sports Illustrated and CBS Sports, who all cited several sources.
No decision has been reached yet, and the discussions are expected to continue over the next few days.
"It's an ongoing conversation we've been having for weeks," Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby told CBS Sports on Sunday night. "We talk almost every day. I'm not aware decisions have been made."
A source tells CNN that the Power Five conference commissioners have been meeting for months to discuss the fate of fall sports and would continue to do so.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp announced Monday an expansion in testing for the Atlanta area.
A Covid-19 mega-testing site will run from today until Aug. 26 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time, Monday through Friday in College Park, Georgia.
The site will be able to test 5,000 people per day, and will offer results within 48 to 72 hours, according to the Georgia Department of Public Health.
Today's announcement comes as a result of US Health and Human Services identifying Atlanta as one of several “hot spots” around the country, according Nancy Nydam of the Georgia Department of Public Health.
Asked why this testing will only be available for 13 days, Nydam said there aren’t adequate resources to continue operating this specific site indefinitely.
During the news conference Monday near Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, both Kemp and US Surgeon General Jerome Adams were asked by reporters, including CNN's Natasha Chen, whether they want schools to mandate masks.
Just last week, at least 260 students and eight teachers from a suburban school district in Atlanta were quarantined after multiple students and teachers tested positive for Covid-19 during the first week of school.
"We've given the responsibility to the schools, to the local superintendents. Like most things in education, I'm a firm believer that the local governments know their school better than the state government does," Kemp said. "We've been handling things that way for a long time. Obviously we went on a wear your mask fly around campaign, what, three, four weeks ago, so we're encouraging people, we did that again today, to wear your mask. I'm confident the superintendents have the tools, the resources, the masks that we have given them, as far as the states concerned, to be able to handle that at the local level."
Meanwhile, Adams said he is "not against" mandates, but doesn't think that alone will fix the issue.

Cuba reported 93 new cases of Covid-19 on Monday, a record increase in new daily cases since the pandemic began, said the island’s top epidemiologist Dr. Alfredo Durán Garcia.
Cuba had claimed to have brought the spread of the virus under control in July and had begun easing some restrictions.
But the spike in new cases put a halt to plans to reopen the economy of the communist-run island.
On Friday, Cuban officials suspended public transportation and access to the beach and ordered restaurants, bars and pools to shut down in Havana and a neighboring province, the two places that have seen the largest surge in new cases.
Cuba has 2,953 confirmed Covid-19 cases and 88 coronavirus-related deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University.

There are 107 school districts in New York state that haven’t submitted plans for reopening, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said today.
“How you didn’t submit a plan is beyond me,” Cuomo said. “If they don’t submit a plan by this Friday, they can’t open.”
Cuomo said that because the viral transmission rate in New York is one of the lowest in the United States, districts can reopen.
“Yes, you can reopen,” Cuomo said. “If you have a smart plan.”
New York City public schools submitted a supplemental plan over the weekend, and Cuomo urged the district to make the plan public and get input from parents and teachers.
“If the parents of NYC and the teachers of NYC say it is a safe plan then it is a safe plan. Education is fundamentally a local responsibility,” he said.
