Significant increase as Clemson football players test positive for COVID-19

The Clemson Insider learned on Thursday that a significant amount of Clemson student-athletes were retested for the COVID-19 virus earlier this week.

According to multiple sources, TCI learned the Clemson football program had a significant amount of players test positive for the coronavirus.

The tests that some of the staff and student-athletes underwent this week were part of the return to facility protocol established at Clemson on June. TCI confirmed that these athletes and staff workers were tested because they exhibited symptoms or were believed to be in direct contact with an individual who tested positive.
