Kansas State has paused all workouts for football players as positive COVID-19 tests have increased at the university.
The school announced Saturday that, as of June 19, 14 of the 130 athletes tested have tested positive. As a result, the school has paused football workouts for a period of 14 days.
The athletes who tested positive “are being medically managed according to current local, state, national, and CDC guidelines, which begins with self-isolation for 10 days and until the patient is without fever for 72 hours without medication, whichever takes longer,” the school said.
“The health and well-being of our student-athletes will always be our top priority,” K-State athletic director Gene Taylor said.
