No Maryland student-athletes have tested positive for the coronavirus in its initial on-campus screening, the university announced Friday.
According to a news release, 105 student-athletes have been tested for COVID-19, the disease that causes the coronavirus.
“Throughout this phase, we expect there will be some positive test results and have planned accordingly,” the release said, “through the implementation of State and county public health officials and university guidelines for education, contract train, and self-isolation.”
The university on June 5 released its plan for a “gradual, phased approach for the safe return of student-athletes.” Football players were permitted to return to campus on June 8 for pre-participation medical screenings and outside, voluntary workouts were allowed to begin June 15.
