MDH Gives New Guidance On School Sports

State health officials have issued new COVID-19 guidelines saying student-athletes in outdoors sports can play without being masked. This comes after the group Let Them Play Minnesota filed a lawsuit pushing for mask-less play. However, the Minnesota Department of Health still wants youth to be masked when not actively playing. Officials also recommend that, in lieu of the change, all middle and high school students get a COVID test every two weeks.
