COVID symptoms are so hard to discern from other ailments (the common cold, allergies, stomach bug, etc.), I really don't see anyone anywhere pushing for umpires to look for any evidence of infection amongst players or coaches.
Seems to me this would really be a school responsibility. Have they put some kind of protocol in place before a team goes out to the field? Do they check the players' and coaches' temperatures? Do they ask them if someone in their family is quarantining?
Again, no way should we look at our role vis-a-vis concussions and expand it to COVID. But that's my humble opinion.
