ELL COVID-19 Safety Protocols - 2021

Using the current California Department of Public Health COVID-19 Interim Guidance for Youth Sports - https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/outdoor-indoor-recreational-sports.aspx, ELL has developed the following plan to resume Little League Baseball activities while protecting and supporting our Volunteers, Players, and Spectator’s health. We will practice social distancing, and limit large gatherings to minimize risks of COVID-19. 

HEALTH PROTOCOLS FOR VOLUNTEERS AND PLAYERS

Managers, coaches, players and team assistants MUST wear masks at all times EXCEPT when participating in on-field baseball activities.  

Masks are still encouraged, and parents may choose to have their player wear their mask on the field. 

Mask MUST be worn by players:

• Walking to and from the field / entrance
• In the dugout

We will train all league officials and volunteers on appropriate cleaning and disinfection, hand hygiene, and respiratory etiquette per CDC guidelines as found in the following link:https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/pdf/Reopening America Guidance.pdf

Coaches, volunteers and players will be sent home who has any of the following new or worsening symptoms of possible COVID-19 infection: Cough - Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing - Chills - Repeated shaking with chills - Muscle pain - Headache - Sore throat - Loss of taste or smell - Diarrhea - Feeling feverish or known close contact with a person who is lab confirmed to have COVID-19.

We will not allow coaches, volunteers, or players with new or worsening symptoms (listed above) to return until: 

In the case of an individual who was diagnosed with COVID-19, all three of the following criteria are met: at least 3 days (72 hours) have passed since recovery (resolution without the use of fever-reducing medications); and the individual has improvement in symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of breath); and at least 10 days have passed since symptoms first appeared.

HEALTH PROTOCOLS FOR FACILITIES

Spectators must maintain social distance from other spectators not part of the same household. Spectators must wear face coverings.

We will frequently clean and disinfect any regularly touched surfaces, such as equipment, doorknobs, tables, chairs, and restrooms per CDC guidelines. 

We will use disinfectant wipes to clean equipment and high-touch surfaces including but not limited to benches, bleachers, gates, and equipment. 

Hand sanitizer will be available before practice/game, and after practice/game for players, coaches, and volunteers.

Masks must be worn at the Snack-bar.

REPORTING PROTOCOLS

Coaches, volunteers, or players who have tested positive for COVID-19, or are suspected of having COVID-19 by a health care provider must report this to ELL’s COVID-19 Safety Officer by emailing [email protected] 

In the event a coaches, volunteer, or players tests positive for COVID-19, the players or team(s) that they have been in contact with will be notified. Names of person(s) who tested positive will not be provided. Recommendations and/or requirements will be given to all who are contacted based on the scenario –whether testing and/or self- isolation is needed or recommended.
