Entire Michigan State football team in 14-day quarantine

Michigan State's entire football team will quarantine or self-isolate for 14 days after a second staff member and one athlete tested positive for COVID-19, the team announced Friday.

"As part of the athletic department's return to campus policy, student-athletes quarantine when coming into close contact with an individual who tests positive for COVID-19," the school said in a prepared statement. "The university has designated areas available to house individuals in quarantine as needed based upon the living arrangements for student-athletes."

MSU paused workouts Wednesday after a staff member tested positive for the coronavirus. The school will conduct another round of surveillance testing before deciding whether to resume workouts.
