Basketball center violated public health orders, Placer County officials say. Now, dozens have coronavirus - San Francisco Chronicle

More than two dozen people have tested positive for the coronavirus after taking part in youth basketball tournaments at a Placer County facility that officials said held the events in violation of public health orders.

7 or 8 may have been exposed to coronavirus and are advised to quarantine and seek testing for the virus, regardless of whether they have symptoms,” health officials said in a notice.

“In addition,” the notice said, “the facility has refused to cease indoor operations and continues to host tournaments despite being advised such operations are not allowed and with full knowledge that COVID-19 cases have been associated with activities at the facility.”.

Jones referred questions about why the facility continues to host tournaments in violation of public health orders to the owner of the facility, who could not be reached.
