“#Florida coach Dan Mullen gets COVID-19 after call to fill stadium<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Florida Gators football coach Dan Mullen announced he has tested positive for coronavirus as part of the team\u2019s recent outbreak.<\/p>\n

The 48-year-old\u2019s diagnosis comes after the program paused all team activities Tuesday because of \u201can increase in positive COVID tests among players\u201d and a week after Mullen called on the school to allow fans to \u201cpack\u2019 the stadium for their next home game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have also tested positive for COVID and have received word that my test has been confirmed,\u201d Mullen wrote on social media<\/a> Saturday. \u201cI\u2019m continuing to self-isolate from my family, who all remain healthy, and I am following the guidelines set forth by UF Health, the CDC and our public health officials. I am proud of how our players, staff, and campus have navigated this unprecedented time and hope all continue to be safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tenth-ranked Florida already has had two games \u2014 this week against LSU and next week versus Missouri \u2014 postponed after at least 21 players and coaches tested positive and dozens more are quarantining because of contact tracing. The outbreak left the program without the 53 scholarship players mandated by the SEC to play a game.<\/p>\n

Mullen also gave an update on how his players were doing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThankfully, everyone impacted is recovering well and has experienced mild to no symptoms,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

The outbreak came just days after the coach, following a loss to Texas A&M, pushed for the school\u2019s administration to allow the full 90,000 fans into The Swamp. Spectators were being allowed in at 20 percent capacity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know our governor passed that rule so certainly, hopefully, the university administration decides to let us pack The Swamp \u2026 Hundred percent, because that crowd was a major factor in the game, and so, I certainly hope our university administration follows the governor,\u201d Mullen said Monday. \u201cOur governor has passed a rule that we\u2019re allowed to pack the Swamp. We have 90,000 in The Swamp to give us that home-field advantage that Texas A&M had today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mullen backtracked from those comments on Wednesday after the game with LSU had been canceled and his team was dealing with positive tests.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever our local health officials come out and say, \u2018This is the number of people that we\u2019re going to allow at the game right now,\u2019 that I want to encourage those people to come in, bring the energy, bring the excitement in the stadium and help our team to win,\u201d Mullen said Wednesday.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
