The team will follow the guidelines set forth by the CDC, City of Philadelphia and the NCAA and begin a 14-day quarantine. The individual who tested positive will be in isolation for 10 days.
Statement from Temple Men's Basketball Coach Aaron McKie
"The health and safety of our student-athletes, coaches and staff is always the number one priority with our program. Our medical staff and administration have done an incredible job of creating a safe environment for our team. Through our daily testing we work to mitigate the spread of the virus, but nothing is foolproof.
This is not the way we anticipated opening our season, but we will follow our medical professionals' guidance in preparation for restarting practice in two weeks."
