COLUMBUS – Athletes in seven sports have been cleared to return to the training facilities at Ohio State after the university suspended voluntary workouts a week ago due to concerns about the coronavirus.
The athletes from the sports – football, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s soccer, field hockey and women’s volleyball — were tested Monday and the results came back Tuesday though the university did not release any information on the results to protect students’ privacy.
Athletes will be tested routinely and a strict set of precautions are in place requiring physical distancing, masks, hygiene and cleaning procedures, Athletics Director Gene Smith said.
