UF outlines safety procedures as football players return to campus

UF addressed the media on Tuesday to address how it is safely returning student-athletes and starting voluntary on-campus workouts.

Since physicals started on May 26, 87 football players have been tested for COVID-19. Of the 80 tests that have been processed, none have been positive, according to the university.

Two student-athletes had previously tested positive, but one was in April and the other one was not on campus.

Athletes will not be allowed in the facilities until they have completed their physical exam, which takes about three to four days.

Workouts began on Monday for football players.
