U OF H ATHLETES BEGIN RETURN TO WORKOUTS

A portion of student-athletes from the University of Houston football and basketball teams are being allowed to return to campus to participate in voluntary athletic activities.

The UH athletics department says athletes from other sports will arrive on campus throughout the summer in a phased-in approach.

In the first phase, athletes from football, men's basketball and women's basketball can work out at the Athletics/Alumni Center and the Guy V. Lewis Player Development Center in limited occupancy.

To minimize the risk of potentially spreading the COVID-19 virus, UH is requiring athletes and staff to enter and exit facilities through designated areas, wear masks to be provided at entry, and have their temperatures checked daily. They are also expected to practice physical distancing and use hand sanitizer and gloves when necessary.
