WIAA Basketball Tournaments To Continue As Planned This Week
Wednesday, March 11th, 2020 -- 12:37 PM
The WIAA State Girls Basketball Tournament and the boys basketball sectionals scheduled for this week are continuing as planned.According to a press release, the WIAA Executive Staff has been in continuous discussions with local and state health officials and organizations, as well as other high school associations in the Midwest. We continue to look at all the medical evidence and breaking information regarding COVID-19 to make the best decision possible with the information available to us.
While circumstances may change, all of the leading health resources we have been working with indicate the best way to proceed is to be overcautious and reinforce the universal guidance and precautions to know your health risk, especially those at higher risk for severe illness; wash hands repeatedly with soap or sanitizer; cover your sneeze or cough; keep hands away from your face; and if you feel sick, stay at home.
We will continue to monitor any new information, and if anything changes with our Tournament Series events, we will issue a statement.
Feel free to contact us with questions and/or comments.
