Guidelines to follow if someone around your team feels ill:
- Any illness within a family of one of our athletes should be reported to the League immediately to coordinate a response. Our goal is not to publicize an illness, but to make any necessary parties aware of exposure.
- Any illness is a presumed positive until they get a negative test or clearance from a doctor.
- If a child on your team falls ill, they should get a rapid test to be sure. If that child had contact within the last 72 hours with the team, all team activities must cease until they are cleared.
- If a parent or family member of a team falls ill, that child will be removed from team activities until the family member tests negative or clears CDC guidelines. This is 10 days from a positive test or onset of symptoms and 24 hours fever free.
- If a family member of a team tests positive, that athlete must be quarantined for 10 days or receive a negative after 5 days of quarantine to reduce total quarantine to 7 days. Vaccinated athletes do not have to quarantine.
- I spoke with doctors at CHoP for clarification on this. Only primary contact with a positive case needs to be addressed.
