Smoliga, J. M. “…Mpox has not yet reached the athletic community, but once it does, it may follow a similar pattern of other infectious skin diseases in sports. Thus, it is critical to initiate a discussion of the risk of mpox and potential preventive measures within a sports context. …”

Mack, C. D., Wasserman, E. B., Anderson, D. J., Farkas, G., Delaney, M., Eichner, D., Johnston, K., Lassiter, M. K., Myers, E., Mayer, T., Solomon, G., Sills, A. “…Conclusion: There is limited and short contact between and among competing players in professional American football. In the setting of infectious disease such as the COVID-19 pandemic, a robust prevention program integrating masking, distancing, hygiene, and ventilation when off-field can be created to minimize on- and off-field exposures, which effectively reduces transmission risk in outdoors and/or well-ventilated stadium settings.…”

Harvey, B., Stork, N. “…Returning athletes back to sport safely continues to be widely debated among physicians in cardiology, primary care, infectious disease, and sports medicine. The return-to-play process after a COVID-19 infection will depend on the severity of their infection, duration of symptoms in the context of any concerning past medical history, and/or family history. …”

Mack, C. D., DiFiori, J., Tai, C. G., Shiue, K. Y., Grad, Y. H., Anderson, D. J., Ho, D. D., Sims, L., LeMay, C., Mancell, J., Maragakis, L. L. “…Conclusions and Relevance In this retrospective cohort study of the 2020 NBA closed campus occupational health program, recovered individuals who continued to test positive for SARS-CoV-2 following discontinuation of isolation were not infectious to others. These findings support time-based US Centers of Disease Control and Prevention recommendations for ending isolation.…”

Fisher, K., Frank, E., Andrie, J., Onks, C. “…However, no clear chemoprophylaxis guidelines exist for athletic teams, who are at increased risk of transmitting infectious disease. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) published well-researched chemoprophylaxis recommendations for adults, children, and individuals potentially in close contact with someone who has influenza, but no clear mention of how athletic team members fit into the guidelines (3,4). …”

H. “…In February 2020, a number of institutions within the Big Ten began discussing the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on sports. On March 7, the Big Ten Task Force for Emerging Infectious Diseases was formed to provide council and sound medical advice to ensure the health, safety, and wellness of the Big Ten`s students, staff and fans. …”

Chen, Y., Buggy, C., Kelly, S. “…Results: Due to physical contact nature of rugby, players are exposed to the risk of trauma resulting in skin abrasions and lacerations etc. which may aggregate the risk of infectious diseases. A level of micromanagement practices such as player hygiene management and health condition surveillance that builds on the current situation are effective and essential, considering rugby players in a high level of fitness condition and at a relatively young age can be overly confident with their ability to deal with the risk of illness. …”

“…The NHL and the NHLPA, working closely with their respective medical, epidemiological and infectious diseases experts, have worked together closely in establishing this Protocol for Phase 3. …”

Australian Institute of Sport “…National Principles for Resumption of Sport were used as a guide in the development of `the AIS Framework for Rebooting Sport in a COVID-19 Environment` (the AIS Framework); and based on current best evidence, and guidelines from the Australian Federal Government, extrapolated into the sporting context by specialists in sport and exercise medicine, infectious diseases and public health. The principles outlined in this document apply equally to high performance/professional level, community competitive and individual passive (non-contact) sport. …”
