GREENSBORO, N.C. — UNC-Chapel Hill is suspending athletic activities for all sports teams due to an increase in COVID-19 cases on campus.
The university said activities will be suspending through 5 p.m. Thursday. It will also close campus recreation facilities.
"After consulting with our health experts and University leadership, we are taking this action to protect our students, coaches and staff,'' said Carolina Director of Athletics Bubba Cunningham.
