math... 10 days (240 hrs) from a positive test ... then a + at 11am Tuesday goes to 11 am Friday.

Policy - unknown.

CDC policy is that quarantine may end at (1) 10 days without a test, or (2) at 7 days after receiving a confirmed negative test result.

VDH has adopted the CDC policy for quarantine.

It depends on the health district.  Central couldn't come back from quarantine before 10 days even with the negative test. The new director in the LENOWiSCO district would allow the 7 days with a positive test.

Unknown is right. Facts, statistics, previously stated policy, and/or logic have no place in the quarantine discussion. 

See Ridgeviews team wide quarantine with 1 player positive. Chances that he was within 6' of the entire team for a total of 15 minutes, basically 0.

Exactly....everyone wanted a season... well here ya go

At least now, there is more knowledge of what we're up against.  There is more knowledge of how to deal with it and better manage situations where activities can happen.  Still isn't going to completely alleviate the virus, still isn't going to please everyone which isn't possible anyway, or it's effects on people and activities.  But we're obviously much better off and had much better luck with it in the spring here than WV did in the fall.

True but it's still a mess

If 7 days (from Fri), Ridgeview could've played Union this Sat., which seems to have been off the table from the start.

If 7 days (from Thur), Radford would've been able to play Carroll this weekend, which they ARE talking about.

So I guess it IS a locality thing.

I hear what you are saying, but having more knowledge doesn't necessarily take politics out of the decisions.  For example, how many people on the board have had a MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine? Probably, near 100%.  How many people have worn a mask over the years to prevent them from getting MMR?  I bet...zero percent.  So, why are my parents still wearing a mask for Covid when both have been vaccinated?  Politics is the answer.  Ever wonder why people that have been vaccinated for Covid still are told to wear masks?  Why weren't they told to wear a mask against MMR the past 50 years even though they were vaccinated?  Politics is the answer

Easy to answer. Measles, Mumps, and Rubella isn’t a current pandemic in the US. The likely hood of catching it isn’t great even if you are unmasked and unvaccinated because of the level of vaccination in the population and their is virtually no pool of disease to spread from. The reason they still advise to mask even when vaccinated is because the vaccines were not studied to prevent infection only  disease. We are just now getting data on if the vaccine prevents infection. Long story short when the vaccines rolled out there were no data of if vaccinated people get the disease and are asymptomatic. As they know more they will adjust the guidelines. They already adjusted the guidelines for COVID exposure if you are fully vaccinated.

But this is new info. They’re still learning. We’ve been told to wear masks as vaccinated Americans as a precaution until they understand the protections the vaccine provides more.

Oh, I know.  The science is adjusting little by little as observable data becomes available.  This is a huge finding though, and a promising one.

Deadline for Regionals is April 17th.  Its an awfully tight window to come out of a 10 day quarantine (if thats the case) and play 2 playoff games before that date.  It will be an interesting next couple of weeks for sure.  Prayers to those affected by this virus.

Fairly certain the SWD policy agreed to before the season was a 14 day quarantine for those who test positive.

I guess we will see if SWD policy, that was agreed upon overrides CDC recommendations.   Curious to see how it all plays out.  I believe it will  be the Health departments call (Cumberland District).

Let's just do like the Big Ten did and rewrite the rules as we go so we can make sure we get our teams in the playoffs 🙂

But thats old information at this point. Things are changing fast, we can't adhere to outdated info.
