Pitt and Virginia Tech will be outfitted with face coverings on the field as well as on the sideline Saturday, in accordance with Pennsylvania's new coronavirus safety guidelines.
In a statement issued Friday, Pitt said, "In alignment with the recent guidance from state officials regarding the current health climate, Pitt's football team will be appropriately outfitted for Saturday's game with face coverings to use on the field and sideline. This is being communicated to Virginia Tech's sports medicine staff as well."
A Virginia Tech official confirmed that the school's medical team has been made aware of the appropriate guidelines.
