In the week since an influx of 11 positive coronavirus tests in two days forced Notre Dame to pause all football-related activities, the Irish have added another 18 positive tests. Notre Dame has a total of 25 players in isolation via active positive cases and 14 in quarantine thanks to contact tracing, the program announced Monday.
Six days ago — Tuesday, Sept. 22 — those numbers were 10 and 13, respectively.

Despite the rise in total numbers, the Irish have been able to get a handle on the extent of this outbreak through the testing and contact tracing in the last week, allowing them to now return to football activities.
