The NHL on Tuesday extended its self-isolation period for players and team personnel to April 15.
Darren Dreger was the first to report the extension:

Previously, on March 25, the NHL had extended its self-isolation period from March 27 to April 6.
Players who have long-term injuries requiring rehab with the team’s medical staff are still permitted to receive their treatment during this period, but players still aren’t able to skate during this period with team facilities closed.
Whenever the self-isolation period ends and facilities are able to reopen, the NHL has said that they would eventually like to be able to allow small groups to begin skating on their own before any organized camps begin.
The NHL has had four unnamed players -- two on the Senators, and two on the Avalanche -- test positive for coronavirus so far.
