Reducing the isolation period from 10 days to five for asymptomatic individuals could help save the basketball season as Omicron rages.
The Pac-12’s medical experts are considering changes to the conference’s COVID protocols that could potentially salvage a basketball season threatened by the Omicron variant.
“We’re in the process of updating the conference guidelines,” Miguel Rueda, chair of the Pac-12’s Student-Athlete Health and Well-Being Board, told the Hotline. The CDC also shortened the quarantine time for individuals exposed to COVID — a potentially crucial change given the number of football and basketball games that have been disrupted because of contact tracing, not positive cases.
The Pac-12’s medical advisors are in agreement that Omicron moves more rapidly than the variants circulating in 2020, when the CDC’s 10-day isolation period was initially recommended.
