North Carolina, Auburn’s opponent in Atlanta in Week 2 of the 2020 college football season, has postponed workouts for the football team due to a high number of positive COVID-19 tests, the school announced on Wednesday.
From CBS Sports’ Barrett Sallee:
“UNC announced the positive cases Wednesday after previously saying it would not release numbers from its COVID-19 testing. The school’s announcement did not specify how many of the positive COVID-19 tests came from within the football program, but it revealed the Orange County Health Department identified a “cluster,” which is defined as five or more related cases.”
Several other FBS programs, including Clemson, have had to pause workouts due to the same reason.
The Tigers and Tar Heels are scheduled to battle in Mercedes-Benz Stadium on September 12.
