Standard precautions such as washing hands frequently and avoiding touching one's eyes, nose and mouth with your hands are highly recommended. Other CDC hygiene recommendations are as follows:

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick
• Fist bumps versus shaking hands during or after a game are preferred
• Stay home when you are sick
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe
• When washing your hands, wash with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing
• If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.

State Health Department Reports on Indiana COVID-19 Cases 

COVID-19 is a respiratory illness caused by a novel, or new, coronavirus that has not been previously identified. The virus causing COVID-19 is not the same as the coronaviruses that commonly circulate among humans and cause mild illness, like the common cold. Human coronaviruses most commonly spread from an infected person to others through: 

• Respiratory droplets released into the air by coughing and sneezing
• Close personal contact, such as touching or shaking 
• Touching an object or surface with the virus on it, then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes before washing your hands
• Rarely, fecal contamination.

The World Health Organization (WHO) advises the following prevention methods:

Wash Hands Frequently
Use soap and water for visibly dirty hands or an alcohol-based hand rub frequently for non-visibly dirty hands.

Practice Respiratory Hygiene
When coughing and sneezing, cover mouth and nose with flexed elbow or tissue – discard tissue immediately into a closed bin and clean your hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.

Maintain Social Distancing
Maintain at least 3 feet distance between yourself and other people, particularly those who are coughing, sneezing and have a fever. If you are too close, you can breathe in the virus.

Avoid Touching Eyes, Nose & Mouth
Hands touch many surfaces which can be contaminated with the virus. If you touch your eyes, nose or mouth with your contaminated hands, you can transfer the virus from the surface to yourself.

We know several of you might be saying why ask now when financially several members might be affected?

CIASA realizes this may not be the best time to ask, but no time is ever a good time. As a membership organization, we support you throughout the soccer seasons, today we are asking for your help! CIASA has a goal of raising $7,000, let's see how far we can get!
