Mizzou athletics has had 10 positive COVID cases, no hospitalizations

Since testing began a month ago, the University of Missouri’s athletics department has had 10 positive cases for COVID-19 out of 377 tests given to athletes, coaches and staff, MU confirmed Wednesday.

Nine of those who have tested positive have been athletes while the other was a staff member, a department spokesman confirmed. None of the 10 people who have tested positive have been hospitalized. MU has not disclosed what sports those nine athletes play.

That’s a positive test rate of 2.6 percent, well below the most recent national average of 9 percent, as reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
