According to the release from spokesman Zach Greenwell since Aug. 7 WKU Athletics had a 1.7% overall COVID-19 testing positivity rate, including a 0.4% positivity rate over the last two weeks. 

“WKU Athletics is very pleased with the commitment of its student-athletes, coaches and staff to fostering a safe environment on campus this semester,” the release said. 

WKU football has three games remaining on its schedule for the season, two out of three being at home in Houchens-Smith Stadium.
