Michigan High School Sports Set to Return Next Week

Brock Fritz Headshot

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services’ latest COVID-19 order will allow contact sports to resume Monday, as long as participants are wearing masks or regularly tested for the coronavirus.

“We are pleased at our continued progress in Michigan that has allowed us to take this step forward in a phased approach,” MDHHS chief medical executive and chief deputy for health Dr. Joneigh Khaldun said of the order, which will remain in effect through March 29. “As a parent and former student-athlete myself, I get how important athletics are to our children’s physical and mental health. However, parents and athletes need to understand the risk involved with contact sports if they choose to participate. Sports that require frequent closeness between players make it more difficult to prevent disease transmission even when mitigation measures are in place, including masks. Even when not required, we urge teams to implement a testing program to protect athletes, coaches and their families.”
