Symptom Management Plan

The guidelines and requirements for managing a member of our camp community with symptoms will be provided by local and state authorities. The plan below is based on CDC and ACA guidelines for camps and childcare programs. We will continue to update these guidelines as provided by our local and state agencies.

ARSENAL FOOTBALL DEVELOPMENT USA SUMMER CAMPS MEDICAL TEAM DAILY SCREENING

Sports Medical Team. • All staff will be educated on recognizing signs and symptoms of COVID-19.

SYMPTOMS AND TRACING

• Follow all reporting guidelines as set by local and state Boards of Health. • Alert families and staff members immediately of any potential exposure. • Player tracking will be conducted for timely contact tracing.

IF A PLAYER OR STAFF MEMBER DEVELOPS SYMPTOMS AT CAMP

Players or staff with possible symptoms will be directed to the quarantine area for further assessment by the athletic trainer. If a player is taken to the quarantine area, the parents or guardian will be called by the camp director. If necessary, the athletic trainer will communicate directly with the parents or guardian. If a staff member is taken to the quarantine area and has self-transported to camp, the staff member will be escorted to their car with the proper PPE mask and sent home and instructed to seek medical attention. Anyone sent home will not be able to return to camp without providing the camp with a negative COVID-19 test result.

SYMPTOM MANAGEMENT PLAN

IF THERE IS A POSITIVE DIAGNOSIS

If a player or staff member reports they are COVID-19 positive, we will maintain the confidentiality of the individual at all times while mitigating the situation. The case will be reported to the proper health authorities and all families and staff that came within close contact with the individual will be notified immediately. All facilities that the individual came in contact with will be deep cleaned and disinfected per CDC guidelines. CDC guidelines for dealing with possible exposure and to COVID-19 will be strictly followed. Persons who test positive for COVID-19 will not be allowed to return to camp.

WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF “CLOSE CONTACT”?*

The CDC defines close contact as interactions within 6 ft. for more than 15 minutes. Contact tracing will be carried out by trained staff in conjunction with the local health department.

WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF “PROXIMATE EXPOSURE”?*

A proximate exposure is defined as interactions greater than 6 ft. from an infected individual within a shared space.

MISSED CAMP DAYS

If a player misses camp due to being quarantined or potential exposure to an infected individual, they will receive a credit towards the 2022 camp season for the days missed.
