UNC Wilmington says it has identified coronavirus clusters involving the Seahawks' women's basketball, softball and men's soccer teams.
The school announced the three clusters Monday, saying there had been a total of 18 COVID-19 cases. The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services defines a cluster as five or more cases considered in close proximity of location over the past 14 days.
Those involved in the clusters either have been or are isolating with medical monitoring and any needed treatment. The school has notified the New Hanover County Health Department and is conducting contact tracing to determine who has been in close contact with infected individuals.
