said he believed they were in “a very good place.” In spite of two positive cases earlier in the week, public health officials still cleared USC to practice Wednesday afternoon. The program’s safety protocols, Helton said, “had really limited the scope.”
Only a few hours later, another player tested positive, triggering further contact tracing protocols and leaving USC below the minimum threshold of scholarship players on its offensive line. The Pac-12 requires that teams have at least seven scholarship linemen available, as well as four interior defensive linemen and one quarterback.It’s still unclear how many USC players will spend the weekend in quarantine — or how long they must remain isolated after that.
USC did not identify affected players or disclose how many more were impacted by additional contact tracing protocols. But any deemed a close contact of that third positive case would have to quarantine for the next 14 days. A “close contact” is defined by Los Angeles County public health guidelines as anyone within six feet for a total of 15 minutes over a 24-hour period.
The two initial positive cases could be cleared to play by next Friday, if they’ve isolated for at least 10 days and produce a negative test. But those players considered to be close contacts via contact tracing presumably would have to isolate through the following Saturday.

Jane Fonda called the COVID-19 pandemic 'God's gift to the Left.' that tells the opportunism of the Democratic Party. Do they care about the 200K+ Americans, or do they consider these unfortunate victims to be props to use in the anti-Trump drama they subject us to day after day?
