The USC Trojans have continued to report good news in the results of their testing of returning student-athletes for COVID-19. The latest result included testing on 120 student-athletes, and zero of them were reported positive.
That means out of 437 total tests done since the middle of June, only seven student-athletes tested positive, and they were all put into isolation. This is the first week where testing resulted in zero positive tests at USC.
USC tested “student-athletes who are participating in on-campus workouts in the Phase 1, 2 and 3 sports of football, men’s water polo, women’s soccer, women’s volleyball, and men’s and women’s basketball”.

The Trojans are two weeks away from the start of fall football camp, assuming it does not get delayed.
USC entered Phase 3 of its offseason workouts on July 13, which allows incoming freshmen to join the roster.
When they will be able to move past that phase, with actual physical contact, remains to be seen, but last week’s results are a good sign going forward.
