Michigan Football Team Cancels Spring Trip Over Coronavirus Fears

Michigan's football team will not travel abroad for its annual spring trip over concerns about the coronavirus.

Although the team had not yet finalized its travel plans, the Wolverines will instead focus on staying local.

"The football team will not be taking an international trip this spring due to health concerns around the world, most notably coronavirus," team spokesperson Dave Ablauf confirmed to MLive.com in a text message. "[We]re] looking at doing some community service in the Ann Arbor area."

Ablauf said the team had not settled on a destination before deciding to cancel their trip.
