RMS 5-8 grade basketball and cheerleading parents - I have received word that one of the referees at Tuesday night’s game has tested positive. His tracing team said he may or may not have been contagious. His contagious window is right in the bubble concerning quarantine. The unfortunate part is it is Friday evening and my contacts with the health department are not available. Out of extra caution for everyone’s health, 5-8 players and cheerleaders who were at the game Tuesday, should quarantine definitely through Monday. I will speak with authorities on Monday and let you know their decision ASAP. In the meantime, quarantine at home and monitor for any symptoms. If you have and questions or concerns about COVID and the symptoms, please let me know.
