Our latest update:
Several more WA counties move into Phase 2 - small gatherings allowed.
WA State Governor published sport specific guidance yesterday
Not much in the first part of this that's new for us.
Areas in Phase 2 may conduct sporting practices / training. Competitions / fixtures may resume in phase 3. King, which is the county Seattle is in IS NOT yet in phase 2, but running a modified phase 1 to allow certain businesses to reopen. Most of the remainder of the Puget sound region is at phase 2. https://www.king5.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/reopening-washington-look-up-the-phase-of-your-county/281-e005d001-006c-4ce5-bac9-67adbd1b4755
We're still waiting to be given permission to return to training at our traditional venues.
The WA Governor's office issued clarifications on sports activity, both professional and recreational. Overview and detail.
This lines up well with our interpretations below about small group / low contact activities being approved under phase 2.
The guidance above is WA specific - OR has similar guidelines, but their “phase 1” roughly lines up with WA’s “phase 2”.
We do need to think hard about training activities and the generally close sustained contact of rugby.
