The Indianapolis Colts were informed that a staff member tested positive for COVID-19, the team announced Thursday morning.
The team is in the process of contact tracing and the staff member has been isolated. The Colts also said they will be continuing their scheduled practice for Thursday but all meetings will be done virtually.
Here’s the statement released from the team on Thursday:
This morning, we were informed that a member of the Colts staff has tested positive for COVID-19. The team is in the process of contact tracing and has entered the NFL’s intensive protocol. The individual has self-quarantined and is under the care of team doctors. The Colts will conduct today’s scheduled practice at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center, but all meetings will be held virtually and away from the practice facility. We are working closely with the NFL, its medical staff and our team doctors.
This will be a situation to monitor, especially as the team conducts contact tracing to determine if any players or other staff members will be considered “close contacts.”
