COVID-19 POLICY

Return To Play Protocol

The return to play protocol for an individual that has tested positive for COVID is the following:

Five days have passed since testing positive/symptoms started.
No fever for at least 24 hours

Once all three are met, the player can return to play. There are no isolation requirements if a player has a known exposure. If you have questions on the policy or anything else COVID-19 related, email COVID-19@salvosoccer.org.

If your player has symptoms, tests positive, or has a household exposure, please email covid-19@salvosoccer.org.

Testing

MDH recommends that participants in grades K-12 are tested weekly to limit the spread of COVID-19.
Testing will be up to each family. Options for testing can be found HERE.

Facility Protocols

We have consulted with each of the individual facilities, the primary school districts in our geography, the MN Dept. of Health, and the CDC. We have compiled a summary of the requirements. You can find the summary HERE.

If a specific facility has a more restrictive policy than what we have set, all Salvo players, families, coaches, and staff must follow that facility's policy. Please be sure to confirm protocol policies if playing games or scrimmages hosted by other clubs.

Failure to follow these rules can result in a loss of permit from the facilities or cancellation of programming.
