OSWEGO – The Oswego City School District was notified late Tuesday afternoon that its boys varsity soccer team has been placed under quarantine by the Onondaga and Oswego Health Departments.

Contact tracing is underway by both health departments after a player from Baldwinsville’s team, who Oswego faced on Oct. 24, tested positive for COVID-19, OCSD Superintendent Dr. Mathis Calvin III wrote in a Tuesday evening letter to the community.

All games and team activities are suspended until further notice, Dr. Calvin said, and more details about future contests will be released when they’re available.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to keep students home if they are experiencing any symptoms associated with COVID-19: Fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscles or body aches, headaches, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, nasal congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting and diarrhea.

District officials also asked parents to remain vigilant when it comes to practicing proper hand hygiene, physical distancing and wearing face coverings as those actions will help minimize the risk of spread and exposure in the school community and beyond.

Any questions regarding the pandemic or the news about boys soccer can be directed to the district’s COVID-19 hotline at 315-341-2050.
