All UH athletics voluntary workouts have been immediately put on pause, the department announced Friday afternoon, after six student-athletes tested positive for the coronavirus after returning to campus June 1.
The University did not test athletes for the virus as they returned to campus, deviating from many major athletic departments that have. Instead, the plan was to test only symptomatic student-athletes.
Football and men’s and women’s basketball players returned to the University nearly two weeks ago for the voluntary activities as the first phase of UH athletics’ campus comeback.
