Three days since announcing an 11-person cluster of active COVID-19 cases and putting a hold on practices, App State football returned to practice on Friday in pods, based on the results of testing that took place Wednesday, according to a statement by Athletic Director Doug Gillin.
“We are placing even more stringent capacity limits on shared facilities like the locker room and weight room,” Gillin wrote. “Throughout this process, we have been in constant communication with the AppHealthCare public health team and our medical professionals, and will continue to follow their guidance.”
After the announcement of the cluster Tuesday night, on Thursday, the Winston-Salem Journal reported that six of the 11 active cases had cleared isolation.
