BURLINGTON, Vt. - The UVM Athletics Department is providing the following update on its summer program and COVID-19 testing.  

• By NCAA rule, Men's and Women's Basketball are the only two UVM teams permitted to participate in formal team practice. The teams began activity on July 20 after all student-athletes met the state-mandated quarantine requirements.


• All activity is being conducted according to NCAA Resocialization of Sport protocols which require daily symptom monitoring, regular COVID-19 testing and a phased return to training beginning with small-group, non-contact activity.


• Tests administered since teams arrived: 75 to student-athletes, coaches and staff.


• Positive tests: Two people tested positive and were isolated per medical protocols.


• Active cases: One.


• Thorough contact tracing has taken place. Individuals who had close contact have been notified and are quarantining per current public health guidelines. The men's basketball team is currently on a training pause and pending further test results is scheduled to resume activity next week. 


• Both cases have been asymptomatic. 


• UVM Athletics continues daily medical check-ins and monitoring of those in isolation and quarantine. 

UVM Athletics will provide periodic updates on the status of programs and aggregate COVID-19 testing results.
