Bucknuts has actually found out that Ohio States football program has postponed voluntary exercises for one week– through July 15– due to several players evaluating favorable for the COVID-19 virus. VIP customers can learn more about this breaking story via The Front Row message board.
The Buckeyes reported back to campus on June 8 for voluntary exercises and were the first program in the country to reveal they meant on doing so. As late as last week, Bucknuts was told that no OSU gamers had evaluated favorable for the virus, but things certainly changed since then..
This must not come as a surprise as most of programs across the country have actually reported players checking positive for the infection.
UPDATE: Ohio State sent a declaration at 7 p.m. to clarify the circumstance:.
The Ohio State Department of Athletics has stopped briefly all voluntary workouts on school following the outcomes of its latest COVID-19 testing of student-athletes. Seven groups workouts are impacted by this pause: mens and womens basketball, field hockey, football, guyss and femaless soccer and femaless volleyball.
The university is not sharing cumulative COVID-19 info publicly as it could result in the recognition of particular individuals and jeopardize their medical privacy.
If a student-athlete tests positive for COVID-19, he/she will self-isolate for a minimum of 14 days and receive daily check-ups from the Department of Athletics medical personnel. Student-athletes living alone will isolate in their home. If they have roommates, they will self-isolate in a designated room on school.
The health and wellness of our student-athletes is constantly our leading priority.
