Ravens Had At Least 4 Different Strains Of Coronavirus; Only One Led To Outbreak

The Baltimore Ravens had a Covid-19 outbreak over the course of the past two weeks, a fact that is by now well known and made national headlines, with well over a dozen players ultimately testing positive for the coronavirus. More than a week later, many players, such as quarterback Lamar Jackson and edge defender Matt Judon, as well as tight end Mark Andrews and wide receiver Willie Snead, remain on the list.

What we didn’t know about their virus situation is that they actually had, according to a statement issued by the team president yesterday, four unique strains in their building—only one of which they failed to contain, which led to the outbreak that resulted in a Thanksgiving Day game being postponed for six days, a total of three times.
