(Cheshire, Conn./WTIC) - There's an update on high school winter sports in Connecticut.
With coronavirus cases and hospitalizations increasing almost daily the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference is putting the brakes on winter sports for now.
The CIAC's Board of Control has moved to postpone all winter sports to January 19, 2021.
In making the decision, the confernence says it will continue to work with the governor's office, the state Department of Public Health and the CSMS Sports Medicine Community in the weeks leading up to practices, which are set to begin January 19.
Last week, DPH offered updated guidance on how to proceed where sports was concerned.
That includes the wearing of masks, postponing indoor activities, and designating certain sports in categories of higher, moderate and lower risk.
