COVID-19 has infected at least 1 member (and likely 3 members) in the Preds facilities.
GM Mike SantaLucia's (GMMS) 25yo son tested positive on Saturday with contract tracing pointing to recreational hockey as the likely source. His spouse and 28yo son also began showing symptoms on Sunday, and despite negative tests on Sunday are going for a 2nd round of tests on Wednesday due to symptoms worsening between yesterday and today. It is believed they may have tested too early for an accurate result.
The entire facility is in lockdown with isolation and quarantine orders in effect, however, GMMS is exempt from quarantine as he was fully vaccinated with doses of the Moderna vaccine on January 4th and February 1st and is showing no signs or symptoms despite close contact with the others. GMMS jokingly stated he looks forward to being another subject to prove the vaccine's work.
In all seriousness, thoughts & prayers appreciated. Not too worried about our younger son, but a bit concerned for my wife and my 28yo son who both have additional risk factors.
Be safe people and please get vaccinated if you are on the eligible list and can somehow find an appointment!
