The Nanaimo Clippers, like all the BCHL hockey teams, have been diligently following public health orders to eliminate any potential for exposure to COVID-19. Unfortunately, a news report was released yesterday suggesting that a number of Nanaimo Clippers had COVID-19. That report was based on inconclusive testing but on further testing, it’s clear that no Nanaimo Clipper player or staff member had or has COVID-19.
The Nanaimo Clippers want to assure the City of Nanaimo, its billets and its fans that all safety protocols are being followed with great vigour by all the players and personnel of the Clippers. It would be extremely unlikely that any of the players or personnel of the Clippers would contact COVID-19 given the high level of diligence being undertaken by the team.
We, at the Clippers, take great comfort in believing that we are running a high-level program in a safe manner.
