Student-athletes no longer required to wear masks during outdoor sports under new MDH guidance

Student-athletes are no longer required to wear masks during outdoor sports under new guidance from the Minnesota Department of Health.

The Minnesota State High School League announced the change on Thursday. Athletes will be required to wear masks if they are not actively practicing or playing.

Coaches, officials and spectators are still required to wear masks at all times.

MSHSL requested the change earlier this month.
