IU Athletics & COVID-19 - Safety Precautions and Updates
IU Athletics is working hard to establish safety precautions and mitigation strategies in areas like seating arrangements, concessions, fan entries, cleaning protocols, and the use of personal protective equipment. Currently, we are working with our colleagues in the Big Ten Conference as well as other professionals in the sports and entertainment industry around the country to develop comprehensive plans in these, and other, areas. Additionally, the Department is working with the IU Athletics Medical Advisory Group on all of our plans, and that groups consists of Chief Medical Officer Dr. Andy Hipskind, team physician Dr. Larry Rink, and local infectious disease specialist Dr. Tom Hrisomalos. Dr. Rink is also serving on the Big Ten's Emerging Infectious Disease Committee, which will provide guidance to IU about hosting competitions and the safety of fans.
IU also has a robust structure for emergency management through the Emergency Operations Center and President McRobbie's Executive Policy Group. IU Athletics has been coordinating regularly with those professionals and with professionals in IU's Department of Environmental Health and Safety and will continue to do so leading up to any future events to ensure that IU Athletics has the best possible plan in place to create a positive fan experience and promote the health and safety of our fans.
