MGHA COVID-19 Protocols
Last updated: 2026-01-19
MGHA’s COVID-19 policy is focused on keeping players safe and reducing spread.
We also strongly encourage all members to stay up to date on COVID-19 vaccination.
If you feel sick:
Please do not attend MGHA games or events. We strongly recommend taking a COVID-19 test. You may return to MGHA activities when your symptoms are improving and you’ve been fever-free for at least 24 hours without fever-reducing medication.
If you test positive for COVID-19:
Do not participate in MGHA activities for at least 5 full days or until you test negative. After that, you may return only if your symptoms are improving and you’ve been fever-free for at least 24 hours without fever-reducing medication. For an additional 5 days after returning (days 6–10), please take extra precautions whenever feasible: wear a well-fitting mask in indoor/off-ice settings, avoid close indoor contact when possible, and consider additional testing.
The MGHA also requests that you send an email to covid@madisongayhockey.org relaying that you’ve tested positive for COVID-19 so that we may anonymize that information and discreetly inform other players that have been in contact or possibly exposed. Our hope is to help keep our community a safe and inclusive space through the respectful balance of personal privacy and the wellbeing of others.
If you were exposed to someone with COVID-19:
Monitor for symptoms for 10 days and consider testing (especially if symptoms develop). During that window, wearing a well-fitting mask is encouraged when feasible.
Thank you for being a kind and considerate member of the MGHA and for supporting the safety and wellbeing of both yourself and your fellow league members!
