DOH is changing the testing frequency for high-contact sports and cheer.

By way of reminder, a student athlete does not need to test if they have tested positive and recovered from COVID in the last 90 days.
  2. Ensure universal masking of all athletes during all practices/training for these high-risk sports. Coaches, trainers and staff will not be required to be tested but MUST wear masks in all practices/training AND competitions.
