PHASE ONE:
In accordance with the federal guidelines, resocialization of sport for Phase One assumes the following:
Gating criteria have been satisfied for a minimum of 14 days.
Vulnerable student-athletes, athletics health care providers, coaches and athletics personnel should continue to shelter in place. Vulnerable populations include individuals with serious underlying health conditions such as high blood pressure, chronic lung disease, diabetes, obesity and asthma, and those whose immune system is compromised, such as by chemotherapy.
Those living in dorms and other residences where vulnerable individuals reside should be aware that by returning to work or other environments where distancing is not practical, they could carry the virus back home, and appropriate isolating precautions should be taken.
Physical distancing should continue.
Gatherings of more than 10 people should be avoided unless precautionary measures of physical distancing and sanitization are in place.
Gyms and common areas where student-athletes and staff are likely to congregate and interact, should remain closed unless strict distancing and sanitation protocols can be implemented.
Virtual meetings should be encouraged whenever possible and feasible.
Nonessential travel should be minimized, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines regarding isolation after travel should be implemented.
