The Gwinnett school system says 15 football players at Duluth High School have contracted a staph infection.

Officials say as long as they're being treated by doctors and the infection is covered the players are allowed to attend school.

Sloan Roach of Gwinnett schools says they "are reviewing procedures with custodians to take extra precautions."

The school system says it is working with the health department to determine the cause of the outbreak.
