COVID-19 Safety Protocols

Last updated: January 9th, 2023

The Livermore Phantom Lacrosse Club intends to closely align its COVID-19 Protocols with that of our home school district, the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District (LVJUSD). If a child is allowed to attend school and engage in all extracurricular activities, then they are welcome to attend team activities. If a child is not attending school as a result of an exposure, or positive test, they must refrain from attending team activities.

Any child who tests positive must notify the Safety Officer and President as soon as possible. Their names will be kept private and only be shared with appropriate coordinators and coaches. Parents will then be notified of the possible exposure.

MY CHILD HAS TESTED POSITIVE:

Your child, regardless of vaccination status, previous infection, or lack of symptoms must isolate themselves at home.

○ Stay home for 5 days (day 0 is the first day of symptoms or the day of the positive test result if they are asymptomatic).

○ Isolation can end AFTER day 5 if symptoms are resolving, your child is fever free, AND a your child tests negative for COVID-19.

○ If unable to test, choosing not to test, or their symptoms are not resolving, they must continue isolation through Day 10 and return on Day 11.

○ It is strongly recommended that they wear a well fitted mask around others, indoors and outdoors for a total of 10 days.

MASKING:

Based on Alameda County Department of Public Health, the CDC, and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations there are currently no masking requirements. If a child, coach or other volunteer chooses to wear a mask they are free to do so, but there is no requirement. Bandanas and neck gators are not considered acceptable masks. N95 and/or double surgical masks are currently considered the most effective.

POSSIBLE EXPOSURES/including households:

An individual is considered to have had a COVID-19 exposure if they have spent more than a cumulative total of 15 minutes (within a 24-hour time period) in a shared indoor airspace (e.g., classroom) with someone with COVID-19 during their period of infectiousness.
All exposed students, regardless of vaccination status, can continue to attend school and extracurricular activities as long as they are asymptomatic and not exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms. Modified quarantine protocols for unvaccinated students have been discontinued.
Upon receiving an exposure notification, CDPH highly recommends that all students, vaccinated or unvaccinated, be tested for COVID-19 within 3-5 days, unless they tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 90 days. Testing is not required.

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES:

We recommend consulting the CDC Quarantine and Isolation Calculator, or the LVJUSD Protocols for Students for more information.

Any parent who knowingly sends their child to a team event while currently infected with COVID-19, may face disciplinary action up to and including the removal of their child from the team.

We reserve the right to update this policy as the situation dictates and will be following the guidance of the LVJUSD.
