Covid-19 Symptoms or Exposure Procedure

As we all deal with another variant-driven resurgence of COVID-19 cases in our community and beyond, PASC/SVSA would like for you to review the current Santa Clara County orders regarding quarantine and isolation that we are required to follow.

Individuals with Symptoms

Individuals with symptoms should stay home and get a COVID-19 test. Please get an antigen or PCR test with Covid Clinic or your own health care provider.
Those with negative COVID-19 tests may return to practice once their symptoms have improved.
We ask that all sick players and coaches stay home while sick, even with a negative test result.
Consider all inconclusive/indeterminate and at-home positive tests as positive

Positive Cases

Everyone must be isolated for at least 5 days, including outdoor activities like sports practice.
Day 0 is the day you are tested, not day of receiving results.
If no symptoms and a negative COVID-19 test on or after day 5, they may return to school/practice the following day. An antigen test is recommended, as you may continue to test positive on a PCR for up to 90 days.
If they continue to have mild symptoms or continue to test positive, they may return to practice on day 6 if no fever for 24 hours or longer and other symptoms are improved.

Household Close Contacts

All household members should get tested immediately when there is a positive case in the home.
Positive individuals should try to isolate themselves away from the rest of the household.
Unvaccinated family members must quarantine at home for 5 days after the end of the positive individual’s isolation period.
Vaccinated family members may continue to attend practice if they have no symptoms. No quarantine is required, so activities may continue without interruption
Closely monitor for symptoms for 14 days

Definition of “Close Contact”:

Close contacts are people who were either (a) living within the same household, or (b) within 6 feet for more than 15 minutes total, with a person who is positive (or likely positive, see isolation order) for COVID-19
The time window for determination of contact begins 48 hours prior to first symptoms or positive test, whichever comes earlier
‘Contacts’ of contacts do not have to quarantine (e.g., brother of a child who was designated a close contact by their school)
If your child is deemed to have had a close contact by their school, PASC/SVSA will use this determination as well
PASC/SVSA considers a game or practice a “close contact” event by default
