The round-robin women's hockey match between Canada and Russia was delayed for over an hour due to an apparent issue with COVID-19 protocols.

Both teams participated in the warmup, but when the Russians returned to the ice for player introductions, the Canadians remained in their dressing room.

After circling the ice and sitting on the bench for 40 minutes, the Russians returned to their dressing room.

"Russia's results from this morning weren't back in yet," said forward Natalie Spooner following the game. "I know in the past few days they've had a few positives and we just wanted to make sure their results came back and we were safe to play."

After about an hour, players from both countries and on-ice officials stepped onto the ice at Wukesong Sports Centre wearing KN95 masks under their masks.

Team Canada wore masks for the entire game but the Russians and refs removed theirs for the third period.

Canada went on to win 6-1.

It was an early exit for Canada in the mixed curling doubles after John Morris and Rachel Homan dropped an 8-7 decision to Italy, preventing them from qualifying for the playoffs. Canada was bounced from the tourney with a round-robin record of 5-4.
