@Slick to answer your message - This is from an
article by Mike Anthony in the NH Register last week. It appears that if a student-athlete choses not get a vaccine - it doesn’t mean they are prohibited from playing on the surface:
-> UConn athletes reluctant to get vaccinated consult their sport’s athletic trainer and, if so desired, meet with Casiero.
“We sit in a completely judgement-free zone,” she said. “I provide them with medical facts, scientific papers and resources. Some of them walk away from those encounters deciding to get vaccinated, and some do not… If an athlete chooses not to get vaccinated, that is their right, as it stands now at the university. But there are additional mitigation strategies that athlete has to undergo in order to play sports at the University of Connecticut.”
Vaccinated UConn athletes are not tested for COVID unless they exhibit symptoms. If deemed a close contact, they are not required to quarantine, instead made to wear a mask for 14 days (or produce a negative test in days 3-5). Unvaccinated athletes are tested weekly, monitored regularly and must quarantine for 10-14 days following close contact. <-
