The individual is currently being tested for COVID-19 and the precautionary self-quarantine will last while as UH awaits test results, which could take from 48-72 hours, the school said in a statement.

No other baseball student-athletes, coaches or staff appear to have developed symptoms, the school said. UH was in Las Vegas for a baseball series against UNLV March 9-11.
