USF announced on Wednesday that two football players have tested positive for COVID-19, just one week after the team began on-campus voluntary workouts on June 10.
Here’s head coach Jeff Scott’s statement from the press release:
“We continue to monitor very closely our student-athletes that have returned to campus and maintain diligent protocols outlined by our Infection Response Team – including screening, testing and sanitization – with the first priority being student-athletes’ health and safety,” Scott said. “We will continue to follow the guidance of our sports medicine professionals and university, state and local authorities while allowing student-athletes who have been cleared to continue voluntary workouts in small groups with strict protocols.
