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.
