There have been no positive test results since the report issued on July 24.

For this report, student-athletes from the sports of baseball and men’s and women’s cross country have been added to the totals.

Since testing started on July 5, a total of 282 student-athletes have been screened for COVID-19. Four student-athletes have produced a positive test. That total includes three football student-athletes who tested positive.

The UVA football team has had 117 student-athletes tested since its return on July 5. There have been no positive test results for the football program since the July 24 report.

None of the four student-athletes who tested positive have required hospitalization.
