A Seattle Dragons player has tested positive for coronavirus, the XFL said in a statement released Saturday.
The league said the unidentified player competed in last Saturday’s game against the Houston Roughnecks and that he was “asymptomatic at that time.”
“He self-reported to medical staff on Tuesday and has been in quarantine since. A test was administered as early as possible with the results received March 13,” the league said in a statement.
The league said the player also participated in the previous week’s game at the St. Louis BattleHawks.
“The league is alerting players, staff, vendors and partners associated with the Dragons, Roughnecks, and BattleHawks. … The XFL is monitoring the situation closely and taking every measure necessary in accordance with recommendations set forth by the CDC.”
