Of a total of 1,481 COVID-19 tests administered the week of March 8-14, only one returned a positive test, Virginia announced on Monday. That’s a positive test rate of 0.07 percent.
That singular positive test, of course, is connected to the Virginia Cavaliers Men’s Basketball team, who as you already know, withdrew from the ACC Tournament last week. The University tests both student-athletes and staff, and while Virginia hasn’t announced who it was, head coach Tony Bennett did tell the media that the player who tested positive won’t be available this weekend for the NCAA Tournament.
