Since Shannon Singletary and the rest of the Ole Miss planning subcommittee began meeting in late February, they expected a day like Wednesday could happen.
Ole Miss announced that an employee and a student had tested positive for COVID-19, which was later confirmed to the EAGLE to be a student-athlete and a staff member in the athletics department.
The first wave of football players began returning back to campus on Monday to begin their COVID-19 tests and screenings in preparation for voluntary workouts to begin on June 8. Members of the soccer team were also tested earlier this week.
