What happens if someone at the club is a suspected case - am I a contact?

If you have any doubt about what you should do, check with your team doctor or COVID-19 manager before attending the training or playing facility.
All suspected cases will be subject to local public health and/or government authority guidance, your Club or Union will be compliant with this guidance.
It is vitally important that all infected persons (and anyone potentially exposed to an infected person) are tracked to make sure that individual cases do not become clusters. Your Club should have a record of all players and staff attending training or matches.

- All possible close contact tracing will be conducted by local public health and/or government authorities.
- Your level of contact with the infected person will dictate whether you are thought to be a contact. This will be determined by your local public health and/or government authorities.
- If you are deemed a suspected close contact, you will be asked to quarantine for 14 days following the exposure and you may also be tested.
- You will need to look out for symptoms during the quarantine period. These include any symptoms, especially fever (measured or feeling feverish or having chills) or at least one of the following: sore throat, cough, runny nose or nasal congestion, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, muscle pain, loss of smell or taste, or diarrhoea.
- Hygiene measures (outlined below in 'What can you do to stay safe?') are even more important than usual.

If you subsequently become unwell, you need to inform your team doctor, primary care doctor or COVID-19 manager.

- You will be asked to isolate at home or in a suitable environment.
- You should ensure that you record any close contacts you have had for 2 days prior to symptoms commencing or being tested positive for COVI D-19 so that they may be contacted and quarantined and/or tested.
