As long as most of these cases are already dealt with, then it’s not really a big deal at all. It sounds like there’s no reason to be concerned.
Judging from Nick de la Torre’s tone from the tweets, there’s no crisis here. If only a handful of the cases are active, then Florida should be just fine.

As I always say, just isolate the athletes who have the virus, let them get healthy and keep them far away from the locker room.
It won’t take much for one player to get sick, walk into a locker room and just decimate the rest of his teammates.
That’s the nightmare scenario and needs to be avoided at all costs.

If Florida can contain the situation, then the Gators should be just fine once the football season rolls around.
