There are three new active COVID-19 cases associated with the football team, causing multiple student athletes and staff to miss Saturday’s game against Campbell University.
In Friday’s board of trustees meeting, Chancellor Sheri Everts announced the new cases associated with App State football, after Thursday’s announcement that a member or the volleyball team tested positive for COVID-19.
“Those four students are recovering in isolation. The associated quarantines will, however, have an impact on those upcoming games,” Everts said.
The chancellor said that while App State volleyball’s opening series has been postponed because of the active case and contact tracing, the football team will still play the Camels Saturday missing “several” players and staff.
