KHSAA Updated Guidance for Return to Sports After COVID

The Kentucky High School Athletic Association along with the Kentucky Medical Association has updated their guidance on returning to sports after COVID 19 infection, with the potential reduction of isolation from 10 days to 5.
The easiest way to count this is:
 

• Day 0 is the first day symptoms occurred or a positive test if asymptomatic.
• Day 5 is the last day of isolation. 
• Day 6 is the first day that the athlete could potentially return.

Athletes also cannot be cleared to return in KY until they have met the following criteria:



• All symptoms (cough, shortness of breath, fever (≥100.4F), etc.) have resolved for at least 24 hours for mild cases or 7 days for moderate cases without the use of fever-reducing medication. 
• We can see you for the clearance exam on Day 5 or 6 as above. For example, let's say you have symptoms on Monday. We can see you in the office on Saturday and you can return to practice on Sunday.
