Sugiura: 3 more Georgia Tech athletes test positive for COVID-19

From July 30 to Monday, three Georgia Tech athletes tested positive for COVID-19 out of 222 tests. That raises the total number to 11 Yellow Jackets athletes who have been found to have the coronavirus since they began returning to campus for voluntary workouts June 15.

In-season athletes for higher-risk sports – football and volleyball – have been tested weekly. The most recent update continues a low rate of infection in recent weeks. In the roughly three weeks before, one Tech athlete tested positive out of 46 tests. In an interview last week, athletic director Todd Stansbury praised Tech athletes, coaches and staff for their adherence to safety protocols.

I’m assuming they are required to be out 10-14 days after a positive test, then require a negative result to come back?
