CHESHIRE — For Connecticut high school students, there is light at the end of the tunnel. On Friday, June 5, the CIAC released guidelines for the “resocialization” for scholastic sports and other activities.
Resocialization: That’s a one big word for “gettin’ back at it.” Albeit, by degrees. The CIAC guidelines, drawn up in conjunction with the Connecticut State Medical Society Sports Medicine Committee, map out a gradual and phased return to activity throughout July and August. They follow much along the lines of rec-

The suggested course of action is detailed and touches upon multiple bases, such as the opening of facilities, the size of gatherings, the sanitizing of equipment, the hygiene and health screening of players.
