Connecticut DPH Issues Guidance for Organized Sports

On September 25th, the Connecticut Department of Public Health issued comprehensive guidance and recommendations for organized sports, including youth and adult club and private league play. The guidance is intended to guide local health departments, municipalities and league organizers in assessing the risk of play and will be re-visited later in the Fall or early Winter as the COVID-19 pandemic progresses. This guidance is based on a risk assessment for COVID-19 conducted by the National Federation of High School Associations, a national organization governing high school athletics. The guidance includes a description of the risk categories for sports, breaks down the risks of different activity associated with those sports, and makes recommendations for each of those activities.
