COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Maryland Athletics, as part of a gradual, phased approach to athletic training and competition, is working with the University Health Center to conduct regular COVID-19 testing. In preparation for this ongoing testing period, we worked with State, county and university health officials to develop appropriate protocols in the event of positive test results, including education, contact identification and tracing, and self-isolation.
On September 8, 2020, the University Health Center conducted on-campus screening for 449 student-athletes. A total of 35 student-athletes have tested positive, and 19 of these student-athletes were already in quarantine. Last week, all sport-related workouts were suspended as a precautionary measure. In consultation with our medical staff, training has resumed for 13 teams (Football, Volleyball, Men's Track and Field, Women's Track and Field-Outdoor, Women's Track and Field-Indoor, Softball, Women's Basketball, Women's Lacrosse, Men's Soccer, Women's Golf, Women's Soccer, Women's Tennis, Women's Cross Country). Training remains suspended for seven teams including teams that have not yet commenced sport-related workouts (Wrestling, Field Hockey, Baseball, Men's Golf, Men's Lacrosse, Men's Basketball, Gymnastics), pending further evaluation.
Cumulative results of all athletics testing to date:
