(Pittsburgh) The University of Pittsburgh announced it is pausing all football activities as the coronavirus has made a resurgence, especially in Allegheny County.

Pitt officials said the suspension of team activities is “due to COVID-related protocols.” The Panthers’ next game at Georgia Tech has also been postponed until Dec. 12.

 

It’s unclear when Pitt will resume football activities, but it is scheduled to next play Nov. 21 at Heinz Field against Virginia Tech.

 

The team Pitt was scheduled to play on Saturday, Georgia Tech, released a statement late Thursday about the postponement as well.

Georgia Tech officials said they are unable to field the necessary number of players to compete this weekend because of a combination of injuries, COVID-19 contact tracing and a low number of tests available.
