Ohio to allow contact and non-contact sports to resume competitions

• “Testing of all players, coaches, athletic trainers, support staff, and officials before travel and competition.”

• “Daily symptom assessments.”

• “Athletic trainers must wear a face covering while attending to a player.”

• “Coaches and officials are strongly recommended to wear a face covering, when possible.”

• “Strict social distancing by players who are not actively engaged in practice or competition.”

» WHAT’S NEXT: How will sports resume in fall?

• “Immediate isolation and medical care for a participant who develops symptoms.”

To this point, teams in full-contact sports such as football and basketball were allowed to hold instrasquad scrimmages but were not allowed to play teams from other schools.

Husted also announced the launch of the #IWantASeason awareness campaign, “which aims to engage athletes and younger Ohioans in efforts to slow the spread of the virus.”
