JONESBORO — Seven Arkansas State athletes tested positive for covid-19 and are self-isolating for 14 days, chancellor Kelly Damphousse announced Thursday.
The seven athletes are from three sports, and all were asymptomatic. They learned of the positive results Wednesday night.
The athletes who tested positive will self-isolate for 14 days. Damphousse said contact tracing has begun, and anyone who has been exposed to any of the seven athletes will be required to quarantine for 14 days.
“This is a day that we knew would come, not just at A-State, but for colleges and universities across America,” Damphousse said.
