The person who was positive—was he tested before the game and went ahead and played before the results came back? Wouldn’t that fail the clubs health check protocol that families are supposed to be following? Or maybe I have the wrong timeline.

The circumstances aren’t known, but there are a lot of ways this can happen without breaking protocols. For instance, the kid could have developed symptoms or learned they’d been exposed after the game or the next morning, and got the results through a rapid test. Or they may have had test results pending, but only got tested for purposes of travel or visiting a high-risk relative and not because of symptoms or known exposure.

This is what i read the situation was...

You're hanging out at the 7-11 buying your usual hot dog and beer and you know your odds on a big lottery draw that night are a 60% chance of winning if you just buy one ticket. Do you buy the ticket or do you walk away because you don't like the odds?

Lmao! They don't sell beer but that scenario is hilarious.

You must be from Maryland!

😭 yes.

The club notified both teams and both teams have been quarantined from all practices, training, scrimmages and games. Neither team is playing in games for 2 weeks. The club has acted very responsibly.

The encouraging news is, no other players on either team have had symptoms or tested positive. This would actually be very good news, as to the low transmission rate through a soccer match.

That sounds very responsible and reasonable. Good for them!

That does sound good. Trying to imagine a scenario, though, in which my kid would play in a scrimmage one day and then get a test the next day. Symptoms first appear the next day and parents hustle the kid right out the door for a test after an hour or two of fever? (Seems unlikely.) Or if the kid was waiting for results (and received them the day after the scrimmage, rather than being tested the day after the scrimmage), the kid should not have been playing while waiting.

I have no idea what happened. But how do you know he did play? My assumption would be that he likely didn't play but that both teams were quarantined anyway.

There are a few places around here that do rapid tests. He could have woken up feeling sick. They could have been notified someone they were in contact with tested positive like a relative or friend. They could have gotten a call from a contact tracer that said he was at a camp where someone else tested positive or working at a store where someone tested positive. Lots of possibilities. None involve any fault by the child or parents.

or his pool had an outbreak and he's contact traced and suggested to take a test day before soccer match. or his sister did. or some such reasons. perfectly understandable in a pandemic. be glad he took a test.
