COVID-19 Interim Guidance for K-12 schools
On September 10, 2021, Marin County Public Health released guidance pertaining to performing arts, sports and extracurricular activities (in and outside of school settings) for public and private Marin-based K-12 schools. The purpose of this guidance is to keep these settings and activities as safe as possible from COVID-19 transmission, and was created as a compliment to the September 1st guidance provided by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH).
Precautions outlined in the guidance are listed below:
- Masks are required indoors for all participants, coaches, personnel, and spectators. This is regardless of vaccination status. Participants in water sports, wrestling, and martial arts may take their mask off while engaged in their respective activity. Masks are also recommended outdoors when distancing is not available or easy to obtain.
- It is safest to limit high-risk activities to those who are fully vaccinated. COVID-19 vaccination is strongly advised for all participants who are eligible (including coaches, staff, and volunteers).
- Regular testing of unvaccinated participants and staff, including volunteers, in high-risk activities is required. “High-risk activities are those in which increased exhalation occurs, such as activities that involve singing, shouting, band, or exercise, especially when conducted indoors. High-risk sports include basketball, boxing, field hockey, football, ice hockey, lacrosse, martial arts, rowing (non-singles), rugby, soccer, squash, volleyball, water polo, and wrestling.”
- When practicable, relocate high-risk activities outdoors.
- Remind participants and families of the importance of prevention both on and off the field. Limit congregation in locker rooms.
- Transportation: Masks are required in buses and vans, in accordance with local and state orders. Windows must be kept open, air conditioning on high and set to outdoor air. The same rules apply for carpooling. When carpooling, participants should stay with the same people on each leg of the journey.
- Overnight travel considered a high-risk activity and is not advised. If all participants are fully vaccinated, then limits to high-risk activities can be lifted.
