-- Former Canadian national team goalkeeper Karina LeBlanc, the head of Concacaf women's Football, on having to self-quarantine for two weeks, away from newborn daughter Paris and her husband, because of concerns she had contracted coronavirus while being treated in the hospital after being diagnosed with fluid on the lungs and high blood pressure. She could only look through glass in a door to see her baby and face-time her during the 14 days apart. (Sporthour)
