A UH men’s basketball player has tested positive for the coronavirus, according to a Houston Chronicle report on Wednesday afternoon, bumping the total number of Houston student-athletes with COVID-19 to seven.
All workouts were suspended last Friday after six student-athletes tested positive nearly two weeks after the University reopened for voluntary activities beginning June 1.
UH officials, ranging from athletic director Chris Pezman to President Renu Khator, have faced a string of criticism for their silence after the University deviated from major programs by not testing for the virus as student-athletes returned to campus.
