Timely Action
COVID-19 Response Plan
Should a player or coach test positive, the club will take the following steps to keep our community safe.
FIERCE Response Plan to Positive COVID-19 Test
Step 1: Reporting
Parents, players, coaches, or staff members must report a positive COVID-19 test or illness with COVID-19 symptoms in their household to FIERCE leadership. Notification may be sent to covid@fierceunited.com and a member of the FIERCE leadership team will respond as quickly as possible to collect relevant information. Questions about policies and procedures may also be sent to the same email address.
Step 2: Communication
FIERCE will promptly notify families of players who have recently been in physical proximity to the affected individual, using the assignments and attendance at training sessions. FIERCE will also promptly notify all members of FIERCE of a positive test or suspected infection and will provide information about which training groups are affected. FIERCE will keep confidential (to every extent possible) the identify and health status of any affected individuals.
Step 3: Action
FIERCE will take steps to limit further exposure of club members to spread of illness. Actions may include suspension of training sessions for the affected individual, a training group, or even the entire club. FIERCE will endeavor to consult with public health professionals to inform these decisions and will cooperate with state and local public health authorities.
