COLUMBUS Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine had some good news for student-athletes Monday.
Last week he announced student-athletes incidentally exposed to COVID-19 in class are no longer required to quarantine unless symptoms develop. On Monday, Ohio Department of Health Director Stephanie McCloud issued an addendum that updates quarantine guidance for spring sports. Students will now be permitted to participate in organized sporting and extracurricular activities as long as they remain symptom-free and follow applicable safety precautions. However, students who are exposed in settings outside of the classroom will be required to follow existing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention quarantine guidance.

STAFF IN Belmont County school districts received their COVID-19 vaccines last week, with health department staff, volunteers and school nurses conducting clinics daily at different sites.
During his Thursday talk, Gov. Mike DeWine said the four-week drive to offer at least the first of two vaccines to all school staff would be met by the vast majority of districts despite snow and ice storms. The overall goal is to have all students back in class full time by March 1.
Belmont County’s school districts have shared that aim and have stressed keeping their students in the classrooms as long as possible. Throughout the week, more than half the staff members in each district were vaccinated. Schools will now look to ways to redress any disruptions in learning this school year.
