Arizona governor Doug Ducey on Monday announced a month-long shutdown of gyms as coronavirus cases surge in the state, but Arizona Wildcats athletic director Dave Heeke said the closures will not affect the 83 UA student-athletes—all football players—who have already returned to campus for voluntary workouts.
Those will go on.
“We’ve consulted with the governor’s staff...and the closures do not impact our voluntary workouts,” Heeke said Tuesday on WildcatsRadio1290. “Those are done in very controlled spaces, monitored. These are not public facilities. We’ve done it with all the appropriate social distancing, all the appropriate sterilization techniques.
