The North Carolina Tar Heels are scheduled to take on the Auburn Tigers in Week 2 of the 2020 college football season.
However, on Wednesday, their preparations were put on hold, as 37 positive COVID-19 tests were recorded among 429 total tests given to athletes.
Per reporter R.L. Bynum, the football team has now paused its voluntary workouts for at least a week to deal with the positive tests:

The Tar Heels are preparing for their second year under coach Mack Brown after a 7-6 record in 2019.
How long will voluntary workouts remain canceled? That’s yet to be determined, but we’ll check back in a week.
