All NJSIAA events will follow guidelines established by the CDC as they relate to mass gatherings and significant community events.
In addition, we ask everyone to follow the prevention guidelines distributed by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Individuals with symptoms that include fever, cough, and shortness of breath should stay home, while travelers returning from affected international locations should follow CDC guidance related to travel.
Given ongoing and potential additional updates from government agencies, NJSIAA will work with member schools should changes or modifications become necessary.
Please continue to monitor NJSIAA’s website and social media platforms for potential updates.”
