St. Louis Blues FOX Sports Midwest play-by-play voice John Kelly tested positive for COVID-19, the club confirmed Friday.

He is now symptom-free after beginning to self-quarantine March 13, according to the team.

Kelly is in his second stint as a Blues broadcaster, having returned to St. Louis for the 2005-06 season after working on Tampa Bay Lightning and Colorado Avalanche telecasts. He first started calling Blues games in 1989-90, remaining on the job until 1992 when he joined the Lightning.

He's the son of the late Hall of Fame broadcaster Dan Kelly.
