Players From Alabama, Auburn Test Positive For Covid-19 As Practices Set To Begin Today

The Alabama Crimson Tide are supposed to begin in-person voluntary workouts today. This comes after several players contracted Covid-19 while participating in a player-driven workout last month. Roughly 50 or so players gathered for this non-sanctioned practice, and “at least” five players, who were tested the day before this practice, received positive test results the day after the practice.

In other words, at least five players, all of whom were asymptomatically positive for Covid-19, were a part of a workout with 50 some odd players. Which means those five players could have just transmitted the virus to these other players.
