The Florida Gators are pausing all football operations Tuesday after a recent spike in Covid cases this week.
“The University of Florida football team has experienced an increase in positive COVID tests among players this week. Out of an abundance of caution, team activities are paused as of Tuesday afternoon,” Scott Stricklin said in a statement on the team website.
“Head Coach Dan Mullen has been in communication with football players and their parents, and I have had conversations with the Southeastern Conference office, last week’s opponent Texas A&M, and this week’s opponent LSU.”
“These circumstances will be re-evaluated by UF Health and the athletic department’s sports medicine staff Wednesday.
