A two-week stay home order for University of Michigan students will not prevent the school's football team from traveling to Minnesota this weekend for its season opener.
Washtenaw County issued the directive to stem an uptick in COVID-19 cases among the student body.
"We are planning to continue practicing and plan to play our games as scheduled," Michigan spokesman Dave Ablauf. "We are following the direction of our medical experts."
So far, Michigan athletics has avoided a coronavirus outbreak. Since testing began in June, 104 positive results have been recorded among the 11,889 student-athletes and staff members who have been examined.
