According to the order, the CDC continues to endorse quarantining for 14 days if an athlete is exposed to the virus outside of the classroom.
However, an exposed athlete, coach, official or others who had close contact or direct physical contact with someone who tested positive can stop quarantining if the following occurs:
- After 10 days without testing if the exposed person remains asymptomatic
- After sevens days if an symptomatic person tests negative (test should occur on day five or later)
Once the quarantine is over the person should continue to monitor for symptoms for 14 days.
If a person starts showing signs of COVID, they should immediately self-isolate and contact their health care provider or local public health authority.
