Covid -19 Guidelines for Eyekonz Fall Programming
As our community continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, we are excited to return to a semblance of normalcy and initiate our programming in a somewhat traditional style. The guidelines provided below are based on guidance from the Pennsylvania Department of Health, the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and
US Lacrosse Return to Play Recommendations. As we work to return to normal, this new normal will likely be different than what we are used to. We must continue to combat the spread of COVID-19 to protect our stakeholders and to prevent an outbreak from occurring and setting our community back.
At Risk Individuals If you, your child, or a member of your household is part of a high risk group (has a pre-existing medical condition including chronic lung disease, moderate to severe asthma, a serious heart condition, immunodeficiencies, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, or liver disease), you should consult with your family physician before attending camp. Symptom Screening and Getting Sick
● If you are sick on the day of camp, please do not attend!
● Upon arrival, players will be required to complete a symptom screening form related to COVID-19. ○ If an individual indicates that they’re experiencing COVID-19 related symptoms or have been exposed to an individual with confirmed COVID-19 in the previous 14 days, they will not be permitted to participate.
■ If either of the above items are true, you should stay at home, contact your primary care physician, and follow CDC guidelines for quarantine and isolation.
● If a player becomes sick with COVID-19 symptoms during their session, they will be taken off the field, evaluated by our athletic trainer, and likely be sent home for the day.
