Syracuse athletes or members of the athletic staff have not tested positive for COVID-19 in the past nine days, Vice Chancellor Mike Haynie confirmed.

Syracuse University administered 1,344 COVID-19 tests between Aug. 2 and Aug. 11. About 400 came from athletes and athletic staff, all of which came back negative. The tests were administered in a pooled saliva screening, Haynie said in a statement to The Daily Orange.
