Coronavirus – An Update from Special Olympics Virginia
Hello All,Most people may have gotten an email today from Rick Jeffrey the President of Special Olympics Virginia. Unfortunately with the Coronavirus Special Olympics International has suggested states take precautions. Per the email below ALL SPRING PRACTICES ARE CANCELLED UNTIL MARCH 31st. 
Coronavirus – An Update from Special Olympics Virginia
March 11, 2020 Special Olympics Virginia is entering its spring season and with growing concern over the coronavirus in the United States, it is important to address our upcoming competitions and events for the health and safety of everyone involved.
COMMUNITY-BASED PROGRAMS: As it stands today, under the recommendation of Special Olympics International CEO Mary Davis per the Memo included below, all community-based Special Olympics Virginia activities, to include practices/trainings, competitions, social gatherings, etc., should be SUSPENDED through MARCH 31, at which time the situation will be reevaluated. Fundraising events that do not include Special Olympics athletes may continue at your discretion.
SCHOOL-BASED PROGRAMS: At this time, for any Unified Champion Schools activity at Virginia schools, such as Champions Together, Young Athletes, Unified Sports leagues, Feet Meets, etc., we should follow the lead of the school system and/or school superintendent in their decision-making process.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. We know that our love of sport doesn’t compare to the importance of protecting the health of the athletes, volunteers and fans, which will remain our top priority.
Sincerely,
Rick Jeffrey, Special Olympics Virginia President
