The Arizona Wildcats soccer team has been shut down for two weeks after several players and staffers may have tested positive for COVID-19, the school announced Thursday.

The UA reported 13 confirmed cases in the athletic department as well as six potential positives. Seven of the 19 potential positives are soccer players and three others are on the team’s medical staff. The other nine potential positives are spread over eight different teams.

The soccer team was tested Thursday, and was testing once a week or every other week, one player said Tuesday in an unrelated interview.
