Since the University of Miami football team returned to campus in mid-June, the Hurricanes have done well in keeping COVID-19 from spreading extensively among the team.

While UM canceled one July workout because three football players reportedly tested positive for the novel coronavirus, university president Dr. Julio Frenk said last week that no Miami student-athlete was positive in the two most-recent rounds of testing.

Much of this success occurred before the UM student body returned to campus in earnest. With students moving back into on-campus housing over the past week-plus and classes for the fall semester beginning on Monday, will this now pose a threat to the work the Hurricanes have done in minimizing the spread of the virus?
