A large number of LSU football players have been placed into quarantine in an effort to curtail the spread of the coronavirus, sources confirmed to ESPN.
The news was first reported by Sports Illustrated, which placed the total number of players in quarantine at 30 or more. However, sources told ESPN that not all players in isolation have tested positive; some are in isolation as they await their test results.
LSU began voluntary workouts on June 9.
"This is what we anticipated. We planned for this. Our plan is working the way it should,'' Shelly Mullenix, senior associate athletic director of health and wellness, told The Associated Press on Saturday, adding that none of the players have exhibited "significant'' symptoms.
