HEALTH PROTOCOLS
Last updated: 9/15/2020
In the event of a member of the Wolfpack organization tests positive for COVID-19 or having been exposed, the following procedures are in place for notification, quarantine and return to play:
REPORTING POSITIVE COVID-19 TEST OR EXPOSURE
We encourage players, parents and coaches to stay home if they don’t feel well. Seek medical advice if you are exhibiting symptoms of the virus.
If a Wolfpack coach, player or family member tests positive or learns of direct exposure, please contact a board member immediately.
We will treat information regarding the identity of our members with suspected or confirmed cases of COVID-19 as confidential. However, our goal is to be as transparent as possible related to this illness.
TEAM SAFETY PROTOCOL
- If a member testing positive HAS been in direct contact with the team, all team members and coaches take a 14-day quarantine pause for all scheduled Wolfpack activities.
- If a member testing positive HAS NOT been in direct contact with the team, the team can continue normal activity. The member must follow INDIVIDUAL RETURN TO PLAY PROTOCOLS outlined below.
- If a member is EXPOSED from DIRECT CONTACT outside of team activity (e.g. classroom, work, etc.) and NOT showing symptoms. Member quarantines for 14 days but the team can continue normal activity. The team was not exposed to a positive member but the member will self-monitor and stay away.
- If a member has NON-DIRECT CONTACT outside of a team activity (e.g. at a school but not in direct contact flow) and NOT showing symptoms. The member is permitted to continue activity but must self-monitor for symptoms. If any change, default to #1 and #2 above.
INDIVIDUAL RETURN TO PLAY PROTOCOL
- Two weeks (14 days) of quarantine after symptoms resolve and fever is gone.
- Doctors note that member is safe to return
- Recommend having a re-test prior to return
Once above is received, the board will review before return is approved.
West Morris Wolfpack Ice Hockey Club expects all members to disclose positive tests immediately, follow all of our protocols and state guidelines regarding contact tracing. Any violations may result in suspension or removal from the organization. Let’s do our best to keep all our players and families safe!
