After a second round of testing done on Monday, two more Michigan State athletes have tested positive for COVID-19, bringing the total number to five.
However, no athletic department staff members have yet tested positive.
One unidentified male athlete tested positive for the illness earlier in the month, with an additional unidentified athletes from among the school’s football players, men’s and women’s basketball players and volleyball players.
“Two student-athletes tested positive on June 22 and will be isolated for a period of 10-14 days,” the school said in a statement. “Housing will be arranged based on prior living arrangements and need for isolation if living with others. During this time, daily check-ins with athletic training staff will be conducted, with additional services provided as directed by the medical and administrative staffs. Further testing and physician follow-up will be required prior to returning to any level of workouts. Additionally, one student-athlete will be required to quarantine for 14 days after initial contact tracing revealed close contact with an individual who tested positive. The Ingham County Health Department will continue to conduct further contact tracing.”
