Arizona's Kevin Sumlin Tests Positive for COVID-19

Arizona head football coach Kevin Sumlin has tested positive for COVID-19, the school announced on Monday.

The athletic department said Sumlin received the positive test after it recently administered COVID-19 testing to its staff members. Sumlin entered self-isolation immediately and is not experiencing any symptoms of the virus.

Arizona determined through contact tracing that Sumlin's positive test is not related to team activities and no close contacts were identified within the football program.

"My family and I have been aggressive in our efforts to remain safe and healthy throughout the past seven months," Sumlin said in a statement.
