The infected individuals have begun self-isolating away from the rest of the organization. 

So far, the statement says there has been no further spread to other members of the organization.

However, it remains unclear if the ones who tested positive for COVID-19 were staff members or team members.

The Raptors left Toronto this month to begin the season, due to travel border restrictions in and out of Canada.

The team will start off their season in Tampa Bay.
