School sports teams are being affected by COVID-19. A growing number of youth are testing positive for COVID-19. It can be very difficult to avoid close contact with others when you are on a sports team. When one member of a sports team tests positive, many of that player’s teammates can end up being quarantined, which has already resulted in canceled games. Vaccinated youth who do not have symptoms do not have to quarantine if they are identified as a close contact.
