Chenango County Health Departs Issues High School Sports Guidance

The Chenango County Public Health department issued guidance on high-risk school sports following the state’s announcement that those sports can resume. The department is advising school districts that they cannot resume high-risk winter sports until the seven-day rolling positivity for coronavirus is at or below 4.0%. Districts are required to conduct weekly testing until that 4% threshhold is achieved. On Wednesday the New York State Public High School Athletic Association canceled all spring state championship events.
