BioReference Laboratories, the lab that the National Football League is using for its coronavirus testing, said Monday that 77 apparently false-positive tests over the weekend were caused by an isolated contamination. When the tests were reexamined they were found to be false positives.

The NFL's testing is being done by five BioReference labs across the country, with only the New Jersey lab having the false positives this weekend.
