Our tennis group had same predicament. What made it more tricky was that the original positive person crossed multiple groups which turned our tennis community to be all possibly touched and many played golf and pickle ball as well. It could have caused a major
Event across The Villages especially since the first person was asymptomatic and only tested because she was going to visit daughter and grandchild out of town.
Discovered that exposure in first few days results in high false negatives but correct
Positives. Need to wait 7 days or more. Everyone who tested positive quarantined for 2 weeks and got more than one negative result before going back to activity.
Also since nothing got
Closed and many potentially positive, we did our own contact tracing and all contacted other captains with the information. I hope
And believe we may have avoided a major outbreak. 7 ended up positive with only 1 who actually had symptoms and hers was pretty
Awful.
