An ‘Iolani School football coach has tested positive for coronavirus, according to the school.
‘Iolani said in a news release late Thursday afternoon that a part-time coach contracted COVID-19.
Student-athletes returned to campus recently for scheduled conditioning but that has been suspended for 14 days, according to school officials.
‘Iolani is advising “those involved” to self-isolate during that time and they will not be allowed to return to campus until cleared.
Arrangements are being made for everyone involved in the workouts to be tested for coronavirus.
The prep football season normally begins in early August, but has been pushed back at least a month due to the pandemic. An official schedule has yet to be released.
‘Iolani also said its outdoor training sessions require students and coaches to wear personal protective equipment. Student-athletes are kept in small groups while practicing social distancing, school officials said.
