Second member of University of Hawaii women’s basketball program tests positive for COVID-19

A second University of Hawaii Rainbow Wahine basketball program member who was residing in student housing has tested positive for COVID-19, the school announced Friday.

UH said the member, who it did not name, is asymptomatic and currently in isolation at an off-campus location.

The case was discovered through contact tracing after the team was tested and instructed to self quarantine on Monday following a positive test of another member.

UH said the state Department of Health has been notified, and “those who were in close contact in student housing were tested and are being monitored in self-quarantine. The remainder of the contract tracing exposures at student housing tested negative.”
