After learning of a positive COVID-19 case in its Tier 1 group (players, coaches, trainers and managers) during regular surveillance testing on Sunday, Nov. 29, the program entered quarantine under the direction of the athletics department’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Virginia Wells.
Following protocol, Tier 1 individuals were tested twice for COVID-19 on Dec. 4 and again on Dec. 6. The results of both tests for all individuals were negative, and W&M’s Tier 1 group was cleared by the VDH and completed its quarantine.
