Coronavirus updates: FSU president tests positive after attending football game

Florida State University President John Thrasher has tested positive for COVID-19 just days after attending the school's football game against Jacksonville State.

Thrasher's wife, Jean, also tested positive for the virus, the school announced.

"President Thrasher learned of his positive result at 3:45 p.m. Tuesday after taking a PCR test earlier in the day," the school said in a press release. "Mrs. Thrasher learned of her positive diagnosis late Monday night after a recent stay in the hospital and a local rehabilitation facility for an unrelated condition."

The school president, 76, attended Saturday's football game, but the school said he had tested negative on Friday as part of routine regular testing. The school also said he "took appropriate precautions," though they did not offer further details other than saying he's been a big proponent of mask-wearing and social distancing.

Both are isolating, feeling well and Thrasher will continue to work remotely.

"We are feeling well at this time and truly appreciate everyone’s support and well wishes!" the president tweeted.

Murphy said the team will continue to evaluate the situation and alert fans to any future updates. In the meantime, he urged them to wear masks, social distance and take other health precautions.

"When watching our games, please limit the people with whom you cheer to your small circle of family or close friends," he said.
