LEXINGTON - In announcing it was suspending in-person classes Wednesday due to the new coronavirus, the University of Kentucky also "strongly discouraged" any university-sponsored or endorsed domestic travel.
That policy will not affect the school's athletics teams, including the men's and women's basketball teams in advance of the NCAA Tournament.
"UK Athletics will proceed with all home and away competitions at this time with university approval," UK athletics director of strategic communication Guy Ramsey said in a statement to The Courier Journal. "We will take all possible precautions in our operations, including in our team travel to away events.
