FAYETTEVILLE — The University of Arkansas has had fewer than 100 athletes or athletics staff members test positive for covid-19, according to figures provided by UA athletics director Hunter Yurachek on Thursday.
Speaking to the UA Board of Trustees, Yurachek said the Razorbacks’ positivity rate “sits below 3%” in 3,063 total tests performed. Yurachek did not provide a specific number of positive tests, but a 3% positivity rate would be less than 92.
The UA began testing athletes June 1.
Yurachek told trustees that Little Rock-based Natural State Laboratories is providing covid-19 test results in around 24 hours.
