CEDAR FALLS – The University of Northern Iowa announced Friday that seven student-athletes and one staff member involved in voluntary workouts have tested positive for COVID-19.

The positive tests come after over 150 student-athletes and staff have been tested.

Voluntary workouts have continued on campus, but the positive tests forced the university to close its weight room this week for a deep cleaning ahead of the July 4th holiday with the plan to reopen the room on Monday.
