Hawaii women’s basketball reports positive COVID-19 test

A member of the University of Hawaii women’s basketball program has tested positive for COVID-19. The team announced Tuesday it has suspended workouts and the individual is in self-isolation.

A press release sent out by the UH athletic department said “the individual followed the proper protocols and self isolated at the first sign of symptoms and immediately alerted the athletics department.”

The athletic department also said a thorough cleaning of the areas where the individual last spent time — including the Gym II basketball practice facility — have been conducted and the department is following all safety protocols.

Over the last several weeks, UH athletics administered more than 300 COVID-19 tests based on NCAA and UH protocols involving student-athletes, coaches, and support staff, with two positive test results.
