Rutgers Football Team Quarantined Amid Coronavirus Spike

Rutgers University is quarantining its football team at least through Saturday after COVID-19 cases among team members nearly doubled in a week to 28 players from 15. Multiple staff members have also been infected, according to NJ.com.

Athletes across multiple sports at Rutgers were reportedly infected after attending an on-campus party on July 29, which authorities believe was the source of the outbreak. Rutgers is the second program in the Big Ten to quarantine after Michigan State isolated its football team last week amid multiple positive cases.
