Chiefs fan and groundskeeper test positive for COVID-19 as 10 others are asked to quarantine following the NFL's season opener - but all Kansas City and Houston players are cleared

Although Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans players have all been cleared for coronavirus, one fan and a groundskeeper at Arrowheads Stadium for last week's NFL opener have tested positive, prompting Missouri health officials to request that 10 more attendees quarantine.

Just 17,000 fans were allowed to attend the game, due to pandemic concerns.  

State health officials claim that one person who watched the game from a group box tested positive the following day. Those who were near that unidentified individual have been notified and did agree to quarantine themselves.

Kansas City and Jacksonville were the only two NFL teams to allow fan attendance in Week 1.
