CIAC will pause all fall sports activities until Aug 24

Positivity rate over 1% and steadily increasing. Hospitalizations increasing as well. Another week or 2 now that schools are back, both of these numbers will skyrocket

If true, does that mean DPH has the power to change its support on soccer and other lower risk sports - eventually shutting it all down?

Even if a sport is allowed to play, case will rise and eventually all sports will be canceled. Give it about 2 more weeks to the end of month and no sports will happen

Today’s Update

DPH does not support Fall football and reiterates no scientific evidence to determine the effectiveness of plastic face shields. DPH repeats narrative of moving “high risk” ie football to a later safer time period.

So in February when the numbers are literally exactly the same, it will be safe?
Post November 3rd?
Middle of flu season?
Frozen fields?
Snow covered fields?

Acting DPH head Diedre Gifford was likely appointed in early May (former head of social services) to better do the governor and other party lawmakers bidding. Her predecessor Renée Mitchell garnered their ire by declining to weigh in on public legislation that came about as a result of the dept’s work, like make public certain school-level immunization data or offer an opinion on vaccine exemptions.

CIAC tried to go by data parameters in official state plan when they said to DPH on 8/23 “This recommendation is not consistent with the ReOpen CT Guidelines for non-interscholastic sport, which have permitted indoor moderate risk and outdoor high-risk sport activities since July 6, 2020.” They also noted “that it restricts interscholastic sport opportunities that are otherwise permissible, for the same student population, in the private sector.”

The DPH maintains there are other factors (risk) no matter the data. Though DPH can’t mandate anything sports wise no CT school district -who has final say, would go forward without their buy in.

Not at all. It will be appealed. It also depends in each state's constitutional rules. Most CT residents have no issues with the measures in place. We don't want to be like FL, AZ etc.

that is a big part of the issue, especially with football. They keep protesting but residents know most college football is cancelled. It makes for a very tough sell to state and local residents to justify having HS teams play. Doesn't matter science or facts, pure optics, but that's how politics go most times

Its sad situation for the kids but I think the adults are missing the fact that they are STUDENT athletes. School is the priority. It's not the NFL even though some think it is.
