• If anyone in your household has tested positive to COVID-19, please notify your coach immediately.
• Consistent with CDC guidance, Virginia does NOT currently have any quarantine requirements for people arriving in the Commonwealth from other US locations. If you are returning from a state that requires self-quarantine (upon return) then that guidance MUST be followed. If you are returning from international travel, VDH guidance is that you MUST stay home for 10 days - OR - 7 days if you test negative (e.g. PCR or antigen test 5 days after returning from travel.)
