PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Eight members of the Philadelphia Phillies’ organization, including five players who had been working out at the team’s facility in Clearwater, Florida, have tested positive for COVID-19. The Phillies say the first confirmed case came down this past Tuesday.
None of those players or staff members have reportedly required hospitalization.
The team also announced that eight staff members have tested negative. Meanwhile, 12 staff members and 20 players — a mixture of major and minor league players — are waiting for their own test results.
The Phils have since closed its Clearwater camp indefinitely while medical officials investigate.
