· If the participant answers YES to any of the questions, they should not attend the activity until they do not have any signs and symptoms of COVID-19.
· Coaches must maintain accurate daily records of all coaches and players that attend each practice/game as the LMHA is responsible for producing contact tracing records of individuals/teams if requested by WECHU.
· If a Team Participant has one or more of the symptoms or answers YES to one or more of the screening questions, they should not enter the facility and should go home, self-isolate immediately and get tested.
· From the OHF “Return to Hockey Framework” August 27, 2021:
If anyone becomes ill at a hockey, they will:
• be immediately separated from others, in a separate room if possible, until they can go home
• be provided with a medical mask
• continue to be supervised according to the local hockey associations usual policy
• be asked to maintain physical distancing
• be unable to take team or public transportation
If your child becomes ill at hockey, they must go home;
• the team or local hockey association will contact you and you’ll need to arrange for them to get home, in a way that does not include public transportation.
• we encourage you to have a plan for this ahead of time. You should consult their health care provider.
• they may recommend your child get tested for covid-19.
• if you or your child are tested for covid-19, it’s easy to get the results.
