Nine Ole Miss athletes under quarantine due to COVID-19
Ole Miss is taking extra precautions when it comes to COVID-19, as the school has ordered nine players to quarantine before returning to sports.
Although two Ole Miss players tested positive last week, the school confirmed to The Grove Report that there have been no new cases since then.
In contradiction to reports earlier today stating otherwise, #OleMiss officials have confirmed to me that they have no additional positive COVID-19 cases.
9 additional players (who tested negative) are being quarantined as they were deemed close contact to the two positives.

The nine players who have been ordered to quarantine have all tested negative for COVID-19, but they all came in close contact with others who tested positive. As of now, Ole Miss has not reported any new COVID-19 cases in athletics, and the players are quarantined for safety purposes only.
