  COVID-19 QUARANTINE RULES

The City of Winter Haven requires us to follow CDC Guidelines for Quarantines when you have been within 6 feet of someone who has COVID-19 for a total of 15 minutes or more. This requires the person(s) to quarantine themselves in accordance with the CDC Guidelines. Here is the link to the CDC website for quarantine information : COVID-19: When to Quarantine | CDC. 

At the FHC tournament this weekend at Walker Road, a member of the American Legion Post 8 70's Team was found to have tested positive for the Covid-19 Virus. There are quite a few guys on the Post 8 team that play softball in Winter Haven and had direct contact with the person who has the virus. Out of an abundance of caution and to be compliant with the City Of Winter Haven's rules, those players that play ball in Winter Haven or their spectators that were at the tournament at Walker Road and/or on the Post 8 Team shall quarantine themselves in accordance with CDC guidelines. Those guidelines say you can return to normal activities on Day 10 without any testing or on Day 7 after receiving a negative test result. The test must occur on day 5 or later. 

I would not expect to see any of you guys at the ball park in Winter Haven this week. We can not take any chances on affecting our league.

Thank you for your understanding in this matter. 

Don Witmer, Commissioner, Winter Haven Senior Softball
