COVID-19 just took your seat at the gym.
Converse County School District #1 has announced that, due to the pandemic and updated state and Wyoming High School Activities Association requirements, Douglas High School and Douglas Middle School athletic and activity events will not be open to students and the general public.
State Department of Health and WHSAA guidelines will only allow 100 spectators or 25% of seating capacity, whichever is smaller, to view events.
Absaraka Conference athletic directors have decided to limit visitor and home spectators to family and close friends. There will also be strict protocols for spectators which include wearing face masks at all times, restricted seating areas, no food or beverage in the gymnasium, and the clearing of the gym between contests.
The WHSAA has also instituted sanctions for schools where the new requirements are not followed.
These sanctions can lead to teams being ineligible for post-season play; so it’s imperative that those who do attend events adhere to the requirements.
The winter sports season begins this weekend across the state.
All questions can be directed to the Douglas High School Activities Office at 358-4040. 120820
