United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee Coronavirus Updates
The health and well-being of our Olympic and Paralympic community will always be our top priority. We will continue to follow the guidance of public health professionals, including the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention and local state health partners, while continuing to monitor the environment to adjust as needed to keep us all healthy and safe.
- Prevention Measures
- Exposure: Follow CDC exposure guidelines for masking and testing if you are exposed to someone diagnosed with COVID-19. Avoid coming to USOPC facilities and get tested if you develop COVID-19 symptoms.
- Testing: Follow CDC guidance on testing. COVID-19 testing and medical evaluation will be administered to athletes who are symptomatic while at a Training Center.
- Isolation: Follow CDC isolation guidelines if you test positive for COVID-19.
- Vaccines and Boosters: It is strongly recommended to follow CDC COVID-19 vaccine guidelines and remain up to date on vaccinations and boosters.
- Travel: Monitor the policies for your air carrier during travel and at all layover locations in your itinerary. Follow CDC guidelines for post-international travel quarantine and testing.
Athletes who have specific questions about their health and the risk factors should seek advice from their medical professionals and public health officials.
