On the first day of OU returning to voluntary workouts, the Sooners have released initial testing data after players returned to campus.

On the first day of Oklahoma returning to voluntary workouts, the Sooners have released initial testing data after players returned to campus.

The first round of testing for players took place on Monday. Oklahoma administered 111 tests to players and 72 staff members were tested upon their return last week. Seven players had tested positive prior to testing on Monday.

Here are the results:

  • Two players have already recovered
  • Twelve players have current cases
  • Two staff members tested positive

This is how Oklahoma said it would deal with a positive test for COVID-19 for players in its initial phase-in release on May 26:

For initial examination, a campus location has been designated where an individual can be examined for the virus. A campus housing facility has been designated to shelter and quarantine any student who tests positive. Any student-athlete who tests positive will receive care through the full resources of the OU medical staff.

Last week, Oklahoma announced that staff members would isolate at home if they tested positive for COVID-19.

Watch the Sooners work out for the first time ahead of the 2020 season here.
