FAYETTEVILLE — An athlete at the University of Arkansas has tested positive for covid-19, according to a statement from UA athletics director Hunter Yurachek.
The athlete's name and the sport they play was not provided, but Yurachek said the athlete is doing well while recovering in isolation at an off-campus property. The athlete tested positive for the virus last week.
Athletes in the sports of football, men's and women's basketball, volleyball, soccer and men's and women's track and field will be allowed to begin working out voluntarily on campus next Monday, but some from coronavirus hot spots came back in recent days for a mandated 14-day quarantine.
