LETHBRIDGE, AB – Four athletes set to compete at the Tim Hortons Brier have yet to make the trip to Lethbridge after testing positive for COVID-19 on their pre-departure PCR tests, Curling Canada said Friday in a statement.
Each competitor plays on a different team, the federation said, without identifying any of the athletes. The players remain in isolation in their respective hometowns.
Round-robin play is scheduled to begin Friday night at the Enmax Centre. The competition continues through March 13.
Depending on recovery times and further test results, the players may be permitted to participate later in the event pending evaluation by Curling Canada’s medical staff.
