NCAA Recommends Student-Athletes Get COVID-19 Tests 3 Days Before Each Game

The NCAA is releasing an updated set of recommendations and guidelines for Ohio State and other schools to follow for fall sports. NCAA President Mark Emmert released a statement on Thursday saying the new protocols will resume college sports in an environment where COVID-19 is manageable. The guidelines have players testing three days before each game with athletes who return positive then isolating for ten-days if they have no symptoms while those who were in contact with them quarantine for 14-days. The new guidance means a single positive case of coronavirus could potentially force a sizable portion of one team to be unavailable for competition.
