Nearly 7,000 Bills fans tested for COVID ahead of playoff game

Less than 2% of those tested were positive for COVID and will not be able to attend Saturday's Wild Card game.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Just under 2 percent of Bills fans selected to go to the game on Saturday tested positive for COVID and will not be able to attend the game. 

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said almost 7,000 fans were tested this week. 

Season ticket holders who were selected to purchase tickets to the Bills' first home playoff game in 25 years were required to get a COVID test to attend the game. 

It was part of a pilot plan that the state partnered with the Bills to get fans back in the stands as safely as possible. 

Fans who purchased tickets but tested positive for the virus will get reimbursements for their ticket and parking fee.
