• “Testing of all players, coaches, athletic trainers, support staff, and officials before travel and competition.”
• “Daily symptom assessments.”
• “Athletic trainers must wear a face covering while attending to a player.”
• “Coaches and officials are strongly recommended to wear a face covering, when possible.”
• “Strict social distancing by players who are not actively engaged in practice or competition.”
» WHAT’S NEXT: How will sports resume in fall?

Husted also announced the launch of the #IWantASeason awareness campaign, “which aims to engage athletes and younger Ohioans in efforts to slow the spread of the virus.”

🏈@LtGovHusted: Today, we are launching the #IWantASeason Campaign. This is a way for #Ohio athletes to take to social media to tell their friends that “I am wearing a mask - I am practicing social distancing - I am washing my hands - and I’m doing it because I Want a Season.” pic.twitter.com/3B8kykDK7D
