Cal coach says team followed protocols before COVID outbreak 20 hours ago share facebook twitter reddit linkBERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — California coach Justin Wilcox said his team followed all the proper protocols before a COVID-19 outbreak that led to dozens of positive tests and the first postponement of a major college football game this season. Additional positive tests Tuesday made it impossible for Cal to field a team this week and led to Saturday's game against Southern California to be postponed. “We have followed the guidelines through the athletic department, the university and the city of Berkeley,” Wilcox said Wednesday. We do the best that we can.”The Berkeley Public Health department released a statement Tuesday night saying there was a “ongoing failure to abide by public health measures” that contributed to the 44 lab-confirmed positive tests. I don’t know if that’s overly productive.”Offensive lineman Valentino Daltoso said players have followed the rules as best as they can and doesn't know why a team with a 99% vaccination rate had an outbreak.
