BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Vermont high school athletes are allowed to start playing again, but the rules are strict.
Teams can only play two games in a seven day period. There can be three days between competitions and no spectators.
But this is news that many across the state have been waiting for.
University sports such as basketball and hockey, as well as youth sports such as soccer and volleyball, are in full swing.
However, heads of state say it could end anytime the numbers change.

COVID-19 briefing on Friday
