The University of Iowa Athletics Department announced Monday that the Iowa Wrestling program has returned to limited in-person activities, ending a seven-day pause in response to positive COVID-19 test results within the program.
According to a release from the school, the wrestlers will continue to follow Big Ten Conference medical protocols and the direction of the UI medical team regarding a full-team return to in-person activities.
Out of an abundance of caution, Friday’s dual meet with Northwestern has been postponed. A decision on the Sunday duel with Wisconsin will be made later this week.
The Department also released their COVID-19 test results for the week ending February 14th on Monday. It revealed 10 positive tests out of 546 conducted, a positivity rate of 1.8 percent.
The overall positivity rate since testing began last May is 2.64 percent.
