MANHATTAN, Kansas – Kansas State Athletics has confirmed that a
total of eight student-athletes have tested positive for active COVID-19
following PCR (polymerase chain
reaction) testing of approximately 130 student-athletes through June 17.
Each student-athlete that tests positive is medically managed according to
current local, state, national, and CDC guidelines, which begins with
self-isolation for 10 days and until the patient is without fever for 72 hours
without medication, whichever takes longer. These guidelines would also include
quarantine for any individuals known to have been in contact with someone who
tested positive.
The department will continue to work closely and communicate with county and
university health officials to evaluate the situation and continue best
