Dear BMCHSD Sport Families:
Currently, coaches and student-athletes who have previously tested positive for COVID, and are within the 90 day window of the date of diagnosis, have been exempt from testing. However, once an individual is beyond the 90 day window, they must begin testing on a weekly basis.
As of today, Monday, April 19th, individuals participating in “High-Risk” sports (Coaches & Athletes) who are fully vaccinated and two weeks beyond the second shot, will also be exempt from testing. If your child is fully vaccinated, kindly forward a screenshot or copy of their vaccination card to Kim Mann at [email protected] as soon as possible.
Thank you for your continued patience as we work to provide COVID testing as efficiently and effectively as possible for our student-athletes. If you have further questions regarding COVID testing or “exempt status”, please contact my office at your convenience. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Mr. Eric Caballero
