Virginia Athletics COVID-19 Testing Results Update No. 6
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – The Virginia athletics department announced today (Sept. 4) its sixth round of COVID-19 testing results for the student-athletes who have returned to Grounds. Since the last report on Aug. 21, a total of 15 more sport programs (25 total) have returned to Grounds and the number of student-athletes tested has increased from 282 to 568.
There were five new positive tests since the last update issued on Aug. 21. All five new tests were for individuals who recently returned to Grounds. To date, there have been a total of nine positive tests among Virginia student-athletes.
None of the nine student-athletes who tested positive have required hospitalization.
The UVA football team reported no new positive tests. There have been no positive test results for the football program, which has tested 117 student-athletes, since the July 24 report. The football program has had a total of three positive tests since student-athletes reported back for summer conditioning on July 5.
All positive tests were reported to the Thomas Jefferson Health District of the Virginia Department of Health.
The individuals who tested positive for COVID-19 were notified according to local health guidelines as a means to trace contacts. Those individuals will self-isolate for at least 10 days, or until symptoms are gone plus three days fever free (whichever is longer) and be medically evaluated until they have been cleared to resume daily sports functions.
Known close contacts of those who test positive will also be asked to self-quarantine for at least 14 days and are unable to participate in daily sports functions during that time.
This will be the final testing report before UVA resumes athletics competitions next weekend. During the competition season, Virginia athletics teams will follow the recently updated testing protocols announced by the Atlantic Coast Conference.
