Ohio State made it through the first three games of its already shortened 2020 season without any major issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
While Ohio State has not publicly disclosed its testing results for the football program, there have been no indications of any significant COVID-19 outbreaks within the team since the season started. Other than Justin Hilliard, whose initial positive test at Penn State was ultimately determined to be a false positive by a PCR test, none of the Buckeyes’ other key players have been sidelined as a consequence of the virus.
Ryan Day and the rest of Ohio State’s coaching staff have emphasized the importance of everyone in the program doing whatever they can to protect themselves against COVID-19 on a day-in, day-out basis, and so far, that’s seemingly worked for the Buckeyes.
