Florida Gators head coach Dan Mullen announced on Twitter that he has tested positive for COVID-19.
“Thank you Gator Nation for all your support for the program this week,” Mullen tweeted. “Thankfully, everyone impacted is recovering well and has experienced mild to no symptoms. I have also tested positive for COVID and have received word that my test has been confirmed. I’m continuing to self-isolate from my family, who all remain healthy, and am following all the guidelines set forth by UF Health, the CDC, and our public health officials. I am proud of how our players, staff and campus community have navigated this unprecedented time and hope all continue to be safe.”
Mullen’s announcement came shortly after the news that Alabama head coach Nick Saban, who tested positive earlier this week, was cleared to coach tonight’s game against Georgia after testing negative for the virus three consecutive times.
Florida was supposed to be playing its annual game with LSU today, however, after an outbreak of COVID-19 among members of the Gators team the game was postponed.
