CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – Seven UNI student-athletes that have been involved in voluntary workouts in UNI Athletics facilities have tested positive for COVID-19. There has also been one staff member who tested positive. The positive tests come after over 150 student-athletes and staff have been tested.
Voluntary workouts continue on campus, but the weight room has been closed this week for a deep cleaning ahead of the 4th of July holiday. UNI Athletics is expected to reopen the weight room on July 6.
"We feel like these positive tests are indicative that our screening protocols are working," Director of Athletics David Harris said.
