In its latest COVID-19 screening update, Indiana athletics reported four tests have returned positive for the disease.
Those four positives were part of 112 tests for players, coaches, and staff during the timeframe of June 24-July 8, according to a Friday afternoon release. In its first round of screening, IU reported zero positives in 187 tests.
IU athletes began officially returning to campus for voluntary workouts a month ago, with football resuming activities on June 15. Men’s and women’s basketball followed three days later.
In total, IU has now tested 299 times and had these four positive results. The other 295 were negative.
“Per its recommendations, each positive test results in isolation until further notice and contact tracing measures are established to detect additional individuals who are considered close contacts and may have been exposed to the virus,” IU’s release said. “These close contact individuals are also quarantined until further notice.”
