NKU men’s basketball reportedly dealing with COVID-19 outbreak

The Northern Kentucky men’s basketball program is reportedly dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak.

According to Norse Report on Twitter, the program is dealing with at least seven positive tests:

Multiple sources have confirmed to NR that NKU MBB is dealing with an internal breakout of COVID-19.

Early this week we were told that facilities were locked down due to one case, and just this morning we were able to confirm that now up to 7 players have tested positive.

The good news is that [again] from what we were told every player who has tested positive shows no sign of sickness (asymptomatic).
