The club had attempted to postpone the game, Ristow said, but its opponents said there was no reason to do so as the team had later tested negative for the virus.

Disney World plans to reopen one water park in 2021
Swimsuit season may start early at Disney World in 2021, as the "most magical place on Earth" has tentative plans to reopen one of its two water parks in March following extended closures due to the coronavirus health crisis. “While Disney’s Blizzard Beach water park and Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water park remain closed at this time, pending government approvals, we currently plan to reopen one of the two Disney water parks on March 7, 2021,” reads a message posted to the Disney World website in an update on the “Know Before You Go” page. Management for the theme park acknowledged, however, that this proposed reopening date may be subject to change amid an uncertain future. Disney is also issuing partial refunds to annual pass holders impacted by the extended water park closures and various ticket add-on options for guests with existing tickets. Gavin Newsom suggested earlier this week that an announcement on the reopening of theme parks in the Golden State was imminent.

Asbestos is a naturally occurring, but very toxic, substance once widely used for insulation. Lyne Dion isn't impressed, writing: "I wouldn't be proud to say that I live in a soft turtle city." Jeffrey refers to W. H. Jeffrey, who bankrolled the town's Jeffrey asbestos mine.
