Unless fully vaccinated, athletes and students involved in extracurricular activities with a known exposure, the CDC continues to endorse quarantine.
Players, coaches, officials, or other individuals who had close contact (within six feet of an infected individual for at least 15 minutes) or who had direct physical contact with the person (e.g., who were coughed on or sneezed on by the infected person) and who remain asymptomatic may consider the following to consider stopping quarantine:
- After day 10 without testing
- After day 7 after receiving a negative test result (test must occur on day 5 or later)
However, youth who are not required to quarantine due to exposure occurring in a classroom setting under the Cuyahoga Count Board of Health exposure guidance or are fully vaccinated are permitted to participate in organized sports activities and extracurricular activities as long as they remain symptom free and follow applicable guidance.
