Report: At least 2 Buccaneers players have COVID-19

At least two Tampa Bay Buccaneers players have tested positive for COVID-19, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Earlier in the week, one Buccaneers coach tested positive while two others were placed in quarantine.

"We can confirm that there have been individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19 at the AdventHealth Training Center. We immediately activated our COVID-19 Response Plan and vacated the affected areas, which will remain closed until extensive sanitization is completed," the Buccaneers said in a statement. "The individuals who may have been exposed have already been notified and are following the established protocols which include a 14-day quarantine period.

"Our team headquarters remain open for our Phase 1 employees and all essential operations are continuing in preparation for the 2020 season. The names of those impacted, as well as any additional information related to these incidents, will not be released due to privacy concerns."

The coronavirus has been spreading to sports teams across the country in recent days, but especially in Florida, where social restrictions were loosened earlier than they were in other states.

Florida recorded over 4,000 new cases on Friday, topping the previous single-day high for the state, according to Jay Croft and Madeline Holcombe of CNN.
