The Team Sport Risk Exposure Framework-2 (TS-REF-2) to Support the Identification of Increased Risk Contacts in Sport during the COVID-19 Pandemic During the COVID-19 pandemic professional sports have continued to run competitive leagues whilst aiming to reduce potential SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Delivering competitions becomes a challenge when matches are cancelled, postponed or forfeited due to COVID-19 outbreaks. Sports are managing this, whilst prioritising player and support staff health through the implementation of intensive risk mitigation strategies (e.g. SARS-CoV-2 screening, strict social distancing and hygiene practices, monitored social distance breaches during sporting activities), along with the identification and isolation of close or `increased risk` contacts.[1]
