Here are more details:
Austin Peay State University’s athletics department has suspended voluntary workouts and closed its facilities after 11 student-athletes tested positive for COVID-19.
“While these positive tests are regrettable, I am encouraged that the procedures we put in place prior to the return of our student-athletes worked as we expected,” said Director of Athletics Gerald Harrison via a press release on Monday. “Once we were notified of an individual displaying COVID-19 symptoms within our family we began implementing our plans, which ultimately led to the closure of our facilities for workouts. The health and safety of our Governors family is paramount.”
Sadly, it seems like this will be the norm in sports for at least the near future.
