After three domestic events and an upended world men's championship due to what organizers said were four"false positive" COVID-19 tests, the Grand Slam of Curling is ready for its turn in the Calgary bubble.
It looked like the bubble may have popped late Friday night when the World Curling Federation and Curling Canada said four participants tested positive for COVID-19. Players and event personnel will be tested every two days during Slam events. International teams that didn't compete last week must quarantine for seven days and take four tests before play begins.
The men's and women's finals will be held on Monday. The competition will be followed by the April 20-25 Princess Auto Players' Championship. Sportsnet will run its Grand Slam events before handing things off again for the world women's playdowns. All future events will include the same virus-avoidance protocols and restrictions established in the first four.
