RE: Santa Clara County prohibits all contact sports - cardcrimson - 12-02-2020

The above reference was for youth sports. Here' the travel requirements for college and pro:

"Effective November 28, 2020, and continuing until 5:00 a.m. on December 21, 2020, collegiate and professional athletic programs are allowed to operate only outdoors, and only if athletes do not come within six feet of one another at any time; for clarity, all athletic activities that involve contact or close proximity are prohibited during this time. Any collegiate or professional athletic team or program that travels outside the County to engage in athletic activity prohibited in the County is prohibited from engaging in further athletic activity within Santa Clara County during this time period. Any collegiate or professional athletic team or program that travels outside the County to engage in athletic activity allowed in the County must comply with the Mandatory Directive for Travel." 

I believe the mandatory directive for travel is the 14 day quarantine if you travel more than 150 miles.

Found this interesting, too"

"Face coverings must fully cover both the mouth and nose, and must fit snugly around the face. A face shield is not sufficient to meet this requirement. Further, the following categories of face coverings do not comply with this Directive:
i. Neck gaiters;
ii. Single-layer cloth face coverings;


iii. Face coverings with an exhalation valve."

Now they're regulating the type of face mask. . . .

There is actually some science behind the face covering directive.



You can see that a neck gater is basically useless.

Was more surprised about the single layer cloth. . . .

This requirement has been in place since they originally allowed sports to start up.

Sorry if I missed it, but where is the Football team right now, and are they still planning to play Washington this weekend and the Beavers the next (presumably in Corvallis)?

How to they get around the SSC rule quoted above about not being permitted to leave the country for this purpose?  (As an aside, I'm not entirely sure a CA county has the power to impose/enforce that rule, even in a pandemic, but presume Stanford would want to honor the good intentions of the law.)

From Cardcrimson's post:

Quote:Any collegiate or professional athletic team or program that travels outside the County to engage in athletic activity prohibited in the County is prohibited from engaging in further athletic activity within Santa Clara County during this time period.

As I read that, they can travel abroad and engage in athletic activity, they just can't come back and engage in athletic activity in Santa Clara county.  My understanding is that they are going to go (or are in) Washington this week, and then will play next week at Oregon State.  Thankfully, fall quarter is over, so there is no conflict with school.

My concern is that case counts in Washington and Oregon are actually higher than in Santa Clara county.

COVID Stats - King County - triangle2 - 12-02-2020

FYI, here’s the link for the COVID stats for King County, WA (Seattle area). A key stat that Washington is tracking is the total number of infections per 100,000 people in the trailing 14 day period. As of this morning, that number is 410. To give perspective, this number was hovering around 100 at the beginning of October. Also, the “Re” number is over 1.0, indicating that infections are increasing rather than decreasing.

Washington isn’t in shutdown...yet, but Inslee reimposed restrictions on restaurant and store capacity, and sports have restrictions. For instance, our kids have soccer teams that practice but can’t play in games/tournaments. Masks are required for practice now. I’m assuming Washington is heading into a shelter in place reset if the trends don’t improve.

I agree with your interpretation, college and pros can leave, just can't come back and play within the three week period. Youth teams, you leave to play, we shut you down.

From the Youth Sports section. . . .

"Travel Outside of or Into Santa Clara County for Athletic or Recreational Activity

No Program may coordinate, arrange, or engage in travel outside of Santa Clara County so that its members can participate in athletic or recreational activity with individuals outside of their stable group. This includes, but is not limited to, traveling to other counties or states to participate in competitive play with other teams.

No Program shall participate in athletic or recreational activities within Santa Clara County with individuals who have traveled from outside of the County who are not members of the Program’s stable group.

Any Program that violates this provision shall be prohibited from operating within Santa Clara County."


Pretty stiff penalty for violating it. You're toast.
