These are the three most commonly asked questions:
Question: Can a player/coach attend practice/games if they were identified as a close contact in school or otherwise?
Answer: They should follow the quarantine rules set forth by the school/work and Board of Health.
Question: If someone on the team tests positive for COVID-19, are the rest of the players/coaches considered to be close contacts?
Answer: No, they are not. Since all our practices and games are outdoors for ABYS, at this time no one is considered a close contact.
Question: If a player/coach tests positive for COVID-19, how many days should a player be quarantined?
Answer: Unless stated otherwise by a health professional here are the guidelines to follow:
- Fully Vaccinated Individuals can come back to play/practice after 5 days of the initial positive test, ONLY if they test negative after 5 days. If they continue testing positive, please refrain from coming to practice/games until the full 10 days of quarantine
- Unvaccinated individuals: Can only come back to practice/games after the 10 days of quarantine, regardless of test results.
- ***If at any time the individual continues to have symptoms they should NOT be coming to practices or games until they are symptoms free for at least 24 hours***
