The Riley County Health Department has been notified that a newly diagnosed positive case from another county participated in a pick-up soccer game in Manhattan at the old stadium on the KSU campus on Sunday May 31st between 2:00 and 4:00pm. This person developed symptoms Tuesday evening and subsequently tested positive for COVID-19.

The Health Department said anyone who attended this pick-up soccer game is encouraged to monitor their health over the next 14 days, in case symptoms develop. The information is being shared because the patient was unable to identify those he may have been in close contact with, and given the nature of the sport and the potential for several close contacts with exposure.

If you attended this game, and develop symptoms, call your primary care provider or the Riley County Screening Line at 785-323-6400. For more information on COVID-19, visit www.rileycountyks.gov/covid19
