[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 730927, member: 2426"] That is interesting since Duke was the first team to pull out of the conference tournament. I understand that HIPPA is a law. The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) announced long ago that they were not going to enforce some provisions of HIPPA so as not to impede health care organizations form fighting the pandemic. There was part of the stimulus that provided paid sick leave if you contracted COVID-19 even though it isn't legal for your employer to ask about your health conditions. There are many companies that require notification if someone from a vendor company was at their site and tests positive, even though it isn't legal for the vendor to ask health questions of their employees and it isn't legal for the vendor to release their employees' health information to third parties. There are many HIPPA violations that are occurring daily related to COVID-19, but in my opinion it is understandable. The choices without identifying infected people would be to either not notify people who were in the same area, or notify everyone who was in the same general area and frighten people who would know they weren't affected if they knew the name. If the schools and/or students aren't willing to notify potentially affected people without unduly scaring people at extremely low risk then they shouldn't open at all. [/QUOTE]
