Michigan has performed 221 COVID-19 tests on student-athletes, and two athletes, both asymptomatic, were positive for the virus. None of Michigan’s athletic staff have tested positive, according to Dr. Sami Rifat, Michigan’s head team physician.
Football players and men’s and women’s basketball players have been returning to Ann Arbor this week and are undergoing testing before the start of voluntary conditioning programs. Michigan shuttered on-campus activity in mid-March in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
At Michigan State, 124 student-athletes were tested Monday and one tested positive, according to a release Thursday from MSU. That student-athlete will be isolated for 10-14 days and daily check-ins will be conducted.
