If the identity of all persons in close contact with an infected individual cannot be readily determined or if the coaches, players, or their parents/guardians or administration of the team do not effectively cooperate with the local health department contact tracing process, then the local health department may require the entire team, including the coaches, to self-quarantine for 14 days following exposure. Individuals may return to play afterward if they have not had any COVID-19 symptoms.

Parents will be immediately notified to pick up their child as well as the child removed from the area with anyone else. Michele Leber will also be contacted to begin the process of documenting the illness and communicating with the parents/health department.
Contact the local health department about suspected COVID-19 cases or exposure.
The affected person should seek COVID-19 testing as soon as possible.
Coaches, administrators, parents, and athletes must work with the local health department to identify individuals who were potentially exposed to help facilitate contact tracing.
A team, school, or club must notify all athletes and parents/guardians associated with the affected team regarding a positive test.
