Positive Covid Cases - Embark & Discover Groups 6:45-8:15pm
Attention WEST Community,
We just had two recent Covid exposures reported in our Discover and Embark groups. Both swimmers were last at practice Tuesday 1/25 at 6:45-8:15pm.
Embark and Discover Groups will be quarantined until Monday 1/31. Coaches will be sending out more information to the impacted groups. We are planning to run virtual dryland workouts today and tomorrow for Embark and Discover. Swimmers who have recently recovered from Covid-19 (within 90 days) are clear to continue practicing and may be combined with other groups, coaches will include instructions in their specific group emails for those swimmers.
Symptoms Reminder: we are seeing in multiple cases the onset of mild symptoms starting while continuing to test negative for 2-3 days. If you experience symptoms coming on (scratchy throat, runny nose, head and body aches, etc) you need to stay out for 5 days. We recommend waiting at least 3 days before getting tested to confirm whether you may have Covid, since you could test negative initially and still be infected. If your symptoms have improved and you do not test positive, you may return to the pool after day 5.
Coach Nick
