COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Maryland Athletics, as part of a gradual, phased approach to the return of student-athletes to campus, is working with the University Health Center to conduct COVID-19 testing. Throughout this phase, we expect there will be some positive test results and have planned accordingly, through the implementation of State and county public health and university guidelines for education, contract tracing, and self-isolation.
During our initial on-campus screening of 105 student-athletes, no student-athlete tested positive for COVID-19.
As we move forward during this initial phase of our return to campus, in order to protect the privacy of those student-athletes who may test positive, Maryland Athletics will publicly release the aggregate number of positive tests at regular intervals.
