As the number has moved to eight confirmed cases, the Crimson Tide’s coaching and medical staff will continue to keep players quarantined and try to manage the situation as best as possible. The good news is all eight cases were asymptomatic, meaning that infected players are less likely to pass on the virus. Also, in the second round of testing the university was able to control things a lot better.
The student-athletes have been on campus since Monday of last week and started voluntary workouts on Monday of this week.
