Report: Chiefs Return Seven False-Positive COVID-19 Tests Sunday Morning

The Kansas City Chiefs returned seven false-positive COVID-19 tests in the early hours of Sunday morning, according to FOX Sports' Jay Glazer.

According to FOX Sports, just before 3:30 a.m. ET on Sunday, members of the Chiefs learned of the seven positive test results and immediately took part in contact tracing procedures. Players reportedly were awoken in the ensuing hours and the team ran additional COVID-19 tests to try and determine more information about a possible outbreak.

At around 9 a.m. ET, the Chiefs learned the laboratory that conducted Kansas City's testing had an issue and the seven previously positive test results were false positive results, per Glazer.
