Judge nixes challenge to masks, virus tests for teen athletes
DETROIT (AP) — A judge has rejected a request to stop coronavirus testing of Michigan school athletes and other steps ordered by the state health department.
An injunction isn't appropriate at this stage because a group called Let Them Play Michigan and its allies are unlikely to win the case, ruled Judge Michael Kelly of the Court of Claims.
The group argued that health department orders, especially quarantines and weekly virus testing for athletes ages 13 to 19, should have gone through a formal rule-making process.
But Kelly said Wednesday state law “plainly gives” authority to the health director to issue emergency orders in response to a pandemic.
Spring lacrosse and soccer players must wear masks at all times. Athletes in baseball, golf, softball, tennis and track must wear a mask when on the sideline but not when actively competing, according to the Michigan High School Athletic Association.
