Please keep your kids home if they are experiencing ANY cold or flu like symptoms including: sore throat, runny nose and congestion, headache, cough, fatigue, shortness of breath, fever/chills, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, loss of taste or smell or body aches.
If you child is sick and tests positive for covid:
they must stay out of the gym for 5 days from the onset of symptoms OR the day of a positive test whichever is LATER. The onset of symptoms or test day will be considered day ZERO. If the athlete shows no symptoms and takes an at-home antigen test on day 5 AND this test is negative, the athlete may return to practice on day 6, but must wear a mask AT ALL TIMES on days 6-10. We will modify assignments as necessary to ensure the athlete does not remove their mask during workout. If the day 5 test is positive, the athlete will continue the quarantine for another 5 days for a total of 10 days from day zero. If the athlete continues to show symptoms, they must quarantine for 10 full days from day zero. For clarification: if an asymptomatic athlete tests positive for COVID and then at any point begins showing symptoms, day ZERO starts over on the onset of symptoms.
Summary for COVID positive (regardless of vaccination status)/no symptoms:
-Symptoms/positive test (whichever is later) = day ZERO
-Day 5 = take at home test
– 1) if positive quarantine for 5 additional days, return on day 11
-2) if negative return on day 6 WEAR MASK AT ALL TIMES for day 6-10
COVID Positive Household:
If a member of an athlete’s household tests positive the athlete must quarantine for 5 days beginning from the test date of the positive family member. The athlete may test on day 5. If the athlete is showing no symptoms and the test is negative, they may return to work out and diligently wear their mask for day 6-10. If the athlete at any point exhibits even the mildest of symptoms, this would then be considered “onset of symptoms” and she should stay home, retest and if positive, follow the protocol above for COVID positive.
Summary COVID positive in household:
Stay home 5 days – test. If negative and no symptoms, return day 6. Wear mask day 6-10. Monitor closely for symptoms. Quarantine and retest as symptoms arise.
