The National Women's Soccer League testing protocol has all NWSL players undergo Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests twice weekly. The confirmation of a positive COVID-19 case occurs when a player receives two consecutive positive test results.

The Dash remain scheduled to play the Orlando Pride this Saturday at BBVA Stadium.
