EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — City of El Paso Department of Public Health announced two additional positive COVID-19 cases Tuesday afternoon, bringing the total to 12 in El Paso County.

UTEP said the two patients are male employees who traveled to an out-of-town event on Thursday, March 12. The University says both men are in self-isolation and are recovering at home.

One of the employees had limited access to the Foster Stevens Basketball Center and the Larry K. Durham Sports Center on March 13. Both facilities have been isolated and have been cleaned regularly with disinfectant, according to the University.

As KTSM previously reported, the UTEP Men’s and Women’s Basketball team was in Frisco, Texas to play in the Conference USA Tournament March 12 before it was canceled due to fears over the coronavirus outbreak. The women’s team was in Frisco from March 10-13 and men were there from March 11-12. The University has not said whether the infected employees were on the basketball trip or not.

We are disappointed to have our season come to an end, but we support the decision of the conference office to cancel the remainder of the tournament. There are things that are bigger than basketball, and our number one concern is the health and well-being of everyone. — Kevin Baker (@CoachBakerUTEP) March 12, 2020
