A day before Vikings veterans are scheduled to report to training camp, the team announced Monday that head athletic trainer Eric Sugarman — who is also in charge of the team’s COVID-19 prevention strategy as its infection control officer — has tested positive for the virus.
The team said in a statement that Sugarman and his family, which also tested positive for the virus, are in self-quarantine. The Vikings tested the people who were in close contact with Sugarman, adding that it found no additional cases in the front office and that no players have been in contact with Sugarman.
