The University of Wisconsin football and men’s hockey teams are taking a two-week pause as COVID-19 issues consume campus.
A statement from UW athletic director Barry Alvarez announced the break for the two teams.
“We have been conducting our own COVID-19 testing of student-athletes and staff on a regular basis since early June and will continue to do so. Since we began testing in Athletics, our decision-making has been guided by our own test results. That continues to be our plan going forward,” Alvarez said in the statement.
“I can also confirm that our football and men’s hockey teams will take a two-week break from team activities per our COVID-19 testing protocols.
