One San Francisco 49ers player last week tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. That individual took part in player-organized workouts in the Nashville, Tennessee area with 15 teammates throughout the week. All were potentially exposed and required testing themselves.
Those tests are starting to come in. So far, they have returned negative, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic.
The COVID-19 test results for the #49ers players in Nashville are starting to come in. Ones I've heard about have been negative. The Athletic's policy is to not reveal names unless team or player reveals it themselves.

Of course, the 49ers did not reveal which player tested positive. The group working out in Tennessee consisted of all four quarterbacks, most of the team's receivers, tight ends George Kittle and Charlie Woerner, and fullback Kyle Juszczyk.
The NFLPA has since advised against player-organized workouts, like the 49ers' in Tennessee. Videos and photos from those sessions at the Brentwood Academy show many 49ers players without face masks and, at times, failing to observe social distancing during the workouts.
