[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 761983, member: 1199"] The ACC protocol for COVID is one PCR test within three days before competition and one test the day before and another 48 hours after competition. Most of the teams are doing a rapid test on Monday, the PCR test on Wednesday, followed by a rapid test on Friday. If the athlete is positive for any of the three tests must be withheld from competition for ten days. I believe the possibility for negative retests after the 48 hour test would allow the athlete to continue, but I am not certain. The issue is the contact tracing protocol. The ACC says that any player identified in contact tracing must be quarantined for 14 days before returning to competition or practice. Since the Clemson player who tested positive on Friday traveled with the team, and presumably practiced with the team on Wednesday and Thursday, FSU was more concerned about other Clemson players being infected but not yet testing positive on Friday morning. I think that is a reasonable concern. I can also believe Clemson's reply is reasonable. But the ACC protocol states that Clemson probably should have quarantined a bunch of players. Clemson said other players did not have close contact with the infected player after his positive test. I think FSU doctors felt he was positive before the Friday test. [/QUOTE]
