GAINESVILLE — The Florida Gators’ game against the LSU Tigers scheduled for Saturday in the Swamp has been postponed due to an outbreak among the UF football team.
A UF source confirmed the decision Wednesday afternoon, a day after the Orlando Sentinel reported 19 Florida football players tested positive for COVID-19.
UF athletics director Scott Stricklin subsequently suspended team activities, while allowing UF Health and Gators sports medical staff to reevaluate the situation.
During the SEC teleconference earlier in the day, coach Dan Mullen said two of his assistants have tested positive for COVID-19, but they are not reporting any symptoms.
