District Updates Mask Guidelines for Sports

On May 19, the OSSA (Oregon School Activities Association) updated its face covering requirements for school sports in the state. The Pendleton School District will follow these updated rules.

Using clarification from the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and the Oregon Department of Education (ODE), the OSSA stated:

  • Outdoor Sports: students, staff, volunteers and spectators are NOT required to wear face coverings at outdoor sports events. Until additional updates are provided, all previous physical distancing and capacity restrictions still apply.
  • Indoor Sports: FULLY VACCINATED students, staff, volunteers and spectators are NOT required to wear face coverings at indoor sports events ONLY when vaccination status is checked by the school in a manner described by OHA in guidance. Until additional updates are provided, all previous physical distancing and capacity restrictions still apply. Admission is closed to the general public for indoor events at this time.   All attendees must provide verification of being fully vaccinated or wear a mask while in attendance.

Basically, the new rules mean that regardless of vaccination status, masks are not required at outdoor sports events. For indoor sports, if athletes can prove they are vaccinated, they don’t have to wear masks, nor does anyone else who can provide documentation of vaccination. According to the OSSA’s press release,

Per the OHA, “fully vaccinated” means an individual has received both doses of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine or one dose of a single-dose vaccine and at least 14 days have passed since the individual’s final dose of COVID-19 vaccine.

Per the OHA, “proof of vaccination status” means documentation provided by a tribal, federal, state or local government, or a health care provider, that includes an individual’s name, date of birth, type of COVID-19 vaccination given, date or dates given, depending on whether it is a one-dose or two-dose vaccine, and the name/location of the health care provider or site where the vaccine was administered. Documentation may include, but is not limited to, COVID-19 vaccination record card, or a copy or digital picture of the vaccination record card.

PSD Superintendent Chris Fritsch said this is welcome news for high school sports. “This is a positive step as we continue to navigate COVID-19 safely and responsibly. This will mean more comfort for athletes and spectators, especially at outdoor competitions.”

Fritsch said that as for verifying vaccination status, the district is finalizing the system for how staff will be accomplishing that at events.

EL DISTRITO ACTUALIZA LAS DIRECTRICES DE MÁSCARAS PARA DEPORTES

El 19 de mayo, la OSSA (Asociación de Actividades Escolares de Oregon) actualizó sus requisitos de cobertura facial para deportes escolares en el estado. El Distrito Escolar de Pendleton seguirá estas reglas actualizadas.

Utilizando la aclaración de la Autoridad de Salud de Oregón (OHA) y el Departamento de Educación de Oregón (ODE), la OSSA declaró:

  • Deportes al aire libre: los estudiantes, el personal, los voluntarios y los espectadores NO están obligados a cubrirse la cara en los eventos deportivos al aire libre. Hasta que se proporcionen actualizaciones adicionales, se seguirán aplicando todas las restricciones de capacidad y distancia física anteriores.
  • Deportes de interior: los estudiantes, personal, voluntarios y espectadores COMPLETAMENTE VACUNADOS NO están obligados a usar cubiertas para la cara en los eventos deportivos de interior SOLAMENTE cuando la escuela verifica el estado de vacunación de la manera descrita por OHA en su guía. Hasta que se proporcionen actualizaciones adicionales, se seguirán aplicando todas las restricciones de capacidad y distancia física anteriores. La admisión está cerrada al público en general para eventos bajo techo en este momento. Todos los asistentes deben proporcionar verificación de estar completamente vacunados o usar una máscara mientras asisten.

Básicamente, las nuevas reglas significan que, independientemente del estado de vacunación, no se requieren máscaras en los eventos deportivos al aire libre. Para los deportes de interior, si los atletas pueden demostrar que están vacunados, no tienen que usar máscaras, ni nadie más que pueda proporcionar documentación de vacunación. Según el comunicado de prensa de OSSA.

Según la OHA, “completamente vacunado” significa que una persona ha recibido ambas dosis de una vacuna COVID-19 de dos dosis o una dosis de una vacuna de dosis única y han pasado al menos 14 días desde la última dosis de la vacuna COVID-19.

Según la OHA, “prueba del estado de vacunación” significa documentación proporcionada por un gobierno tribal, federal, estatal o local, o un proveedor de atención médica, que incluye el nombre de una persona, fecha de nacimiento, tipo de vacuna COVID-19 administrada, fecha o fechas indicadas, dependiendo de si se trata de una vacuna de una dosis o de dos dosis, y el nombre/ubicación del proveedor de atención médica o el lugar donde se administró la vacuna. La documentación puede incluir, entre otros, la tarjeta de registro de vacunación COVID-19 o una copia o fotografía digital de la tarjeta de registro de vacunación.

El superintendente del PSD, Chris Fritsch, dijo que esta es una buena noticia para los deportes de la escuela secundaria. “Este es un paso positivo a medida que continuamos navegando por COVID-19 de manera segura y responsable. Esto significa más comodidad para los atletas y espectadores, especialmente en las competiciones al aire libre.”

Fritsch dijo que en cuanto a verificar el estado de vacunación, el distrito está finalizando el sistema de cómo el personal lo logrará en los eventos.
