Indiana announced Friday that baseball coach Jeff Mercer has tested positive for COVID-19, leaving the status of this weekend’s series against Penn State in the air.
Mercer’s result came through an antigen test on Friday morning, and it was later confirmed by a PCR test. The rest of the team and staff are scheduled to undergo further testing, themselves.
“This morning I tested positive for COVID-19,” Mercer said in a statement. “I’m experiencing minor symptoms and will now enter my 10-day isolation period. I look forward to communicating with the team during my absence and rejoining the team when it’s safe to do so.
