Parents concerned about fall sports after COVID outbreak shuts down football at Quince Orchard HS


...What no one knows is how long Quince Orchard’s 100-person football program will be suspended for, as the county conducts contact tracing and how this could impact quarantines and closures when those student-athletes enter into school building starting Aug. 30.

"I probably would do the same thing, if I needed to shut down a quick outbreak, but does that mean their whole season is going to be lost? I don’t know," Goodman said.

FOX 5 got to ask the Montgomery County Deputy Health Officer about outbreaks involving sports teams and how this might impact schools when Montgomery County student-athletes step back into the classroom in less than two weeks.

When asked if there is a number for what could shut down a sports team or school, Dr. James Bridgers told FOX 5, "If one person on the football team is tested positive or the whole team is tested positive, the whole team needs to isolate."..
