Where are we? • https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/cumulative-cases\
What Returning to Sports Means • New mixing – especially in travel events • Returning to sports before returning to school • Exposure of higher risk populations • Obtaining community buy in and support from state and local health departments
Reopening for youth sports WILL mean more cases!
A roadmap forward • Monitoring state and local health department notices/forecasts regularly • Protect families and children who are at increased risk • Promote healthy hygiene practices and reinforce physical distancing strategies • Intensifying cleaning, disinfection and ventilation procedures
