The Columbus Blue Jackets continue to actively monitor updates from the Centers for Disease Control, state and local health agencies and the National Hockey League with regards to Coronavirus (COVID-19). Accordingly, the club released the following information regarding team and business operations. As the situation continues to be fluid, these plans may be adjusted as facts and circumstances change.

Game Day Staff
Team Operations
- Team players, coaches and personnel in close contact with players on a regular basis have been encouraged to self-quarantine until March 27 to determine if anyone experiences an illness, reduce the risk of transmission and minimize exposure within the community. Team personnel are permitted to leave Columbus to go to their homes in other locations but are expected to self-quarantine at that location if they do so. To date, no Blue Jackets personnel have exhibited any signs of COVID-19.
- Team facilities are closed to all personnel except in the case of the rehabilitation and treatment of players with on-going disabling injuries. These activities may continue to be directed by team medical staff and provided at its facilities unless the player and team agree to utilize an alternative rehabilitation approach.
- At the end of the self-quarantine period, and depending upon world developments between now and then, consideration will be given to allowing club facilities to be open to players in scheduled and coordinated small groups for voluntary training and care on the same basis as in the off-season.
- Team personnel will be provided daily updates from the club and League on all matters pertaining to COVID-19.
