Lawsuit filed over student-athlete coronavirus policy
February 22, 2021 GMT
MOUNT STERLING, Ky. (AP) A Kentucky parent has filed a lawsuit against the Kentucky High School Athletic Association over a policy on when student athletes can return to competition after testing positive for COVID-19.
Jon Kelly Johnson, a dentist from Mount Sterling, filed the lawsuit Friday in Montgomery Circuit Court saying the policy has the potential to negatively affect his 16-year-old son’s prospects for college scholarships if he gets the virus, news outlets reported.
His attorney, Trip Redford, is asking a judge to grant a temporary injunction that would prevent the athletic association from enforcing the policy, which calls for athletes who test positive to isolate and then gradually increase physical activity while being watched for symptoms. It also recommends an evaluation by a doctor. Student athletes could be out of competition for up to 21 days.

Virus, compressed season put stress on Michigan referees
February 8, 2021 GMT
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) High schools are anticipating a shortage of men and women who blow the whistle as basketball returns to Michigan gyms after a timeout for the coronavirus.
Registration of referees is down 25% from a year ago, and the risk of COVID-19 is a “contributing factor,” said Geoff Kimmerly, a spokesman at the Michigan High School Athletic Association.
“It is always a concern because there are so many games with the girls and boys seasons playing concurrently,” Kimmerly told MLive.com. “It is a concern even in non-COVID years, and we expect it to be more of a concern over these next two months.”
