Pausing athletic-related activity in some sports

Oct 19, 2020 3:30 PM

FSU has decided to pause all athletic-related activity in the sports of men’s basketball, women’s basketball, men’s cross country and the hurdles and sprints cohort within the track and field team. These actions are taken in alignment with the guidance from NCAA’s Resocialization of Collegiate Sport guidance. FSU continues exercise an abundance of caution while operating its athletic programs.  

FSU’s monitoring indicates that a majority of positive cases among student-athletes have come as the result of social interactions and shared households. We take this opportunity to reinforce how important it is to continue to wear face masks properly, maintain social distancing and wash hands frequently. 

As stated before, any students who test positive for COVID-19 are required to isolate away from campus for a time determined by medical professionals. The Allegany County Health Department conducts contract tracing and will determine if additional measures are necessary.
