The Rutgers Scarlet Knights have halted all team activities in person and quarantined the entire soccer program after six additional positive tests were announced for COVID-19 on Saturday.
The program has had 10 total positive results since it returned to campus on June 15.
The school, which reportedly had not released its test results before Saturday, said it would “work diligently with Rutgers’ medical experts and state and local officials” to determine next steps.
On Friday, the state of Michigan, which is also in the Big Ten, said it would quarantine or isolate its entire soccer team after a second staff member and an athlete tested positive for COVID-19.
Friday marked the beginning of the improved summer access period for college football teams, which allows up to eight hours per week for weight training, conditioning and movie review, and one hour per day for both meetings and a tour of the that soccer can be used.
