The Arizona Wildcats are hitting the pause button on their plan to bring back their student-athletes, nearly 15 days after they reopened their doors. On June 15, Arizona began their plan to bring student-athletes back to campus, opening the doors to groups of 20 at a time. Though they were relatively successful with only one positive result in 83 tests, the rampant rise in COVID-19 positive cases in the state has forced the halt.
Arizona reported a whopping 3,858 positive cases on Sunday night, a new high for the state, and governor Doug Ducey ordered all gyms in the state to close for 30 days because of it.
