Eastern Kentucky University Athletics Director Matt Roan has announced three student-athletes and three athletics staff members have tested positive for COVID-19.
In a campus-wide email, Roan said the infected individuals have been isolated and the athletics department is amending voluntary workout schedules. In recognition of the entire campus community privacy, the individuals are not being identified.
The Eastern administration is working with the Madison County Health Department to trace and notify the contacts of those who received positive coronavirus test results.
EKU has also identified the spaces where the student athletes and staff members were located and engaged a specialty contractor for professional cleaning in line with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.
