EDMONTON — The Edmonton Elks are extending the team’s isolation period from seven to 10 days but are reporting no new COVID-19 cases for the first time since last weekend. 

Fourteen players have tested positive since the CFL team returned home after a victory over the B.C. Lions on Aug. 19. 

The Elks say that all tier-one players, coaches and staff will continue to receive daily PCR tests and remain at home in isolation through Tuesday. 

The team plans to return to club facilities for in-person activities on Wednesday. 

The Elks are scheduled to return to action on Sept. 6 in Calgary.
