The Giants’ COVID-19 scare this week appears to be more of a testing glitch than an outbreak of the virus.
The team issued a statement on Thursday saying Bio-Reference Laboratories, which handles their testing, "is experiencing an unusually high number of false positives using the Rapid Mesa Test at our facility. With the exception of one individual, all of the positive Mesa test results over the last two days have come back negative through PCR testing. The laboratory is working with experts to determine the source of the problem."
The one individual is running backs coach Burton Burns, who Joe Judge said on Wednesday was a confirmed positive and has been coaching virtually from home since his diagnosis on Tuesday.
