Ravens Say They Had 4 Unique Strains of COVID-19 in Facility During Outbreak

Baltimore Ravens president Dick Cass addressed the franchise's COVID-19 outbreak Saturday, stating medical personnel identified "at least four unique strains of COVID-19 in our facility."

"Three of the four were stopped and not spread within our organization," Cass said. "Unfortunately, the fourth was a highly-contagious strain and spread throughout our organization."

He went on to state:

"We cannot undo what has occurred. But, we can do our best to learn from what has happened and be vigilant moving forward to ensure that it does not happen again. As the recent experience has shown us, this virus does not need a large opening to spread within an organization, and 99% compliance is not a passing grade when dealing with this virus.
