The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) on Tuesday approved updates to guidelines for the upcoming spring tournaments and a location for the first-ever State Girls Wrestling Tournament.
The WIAA’s board, per an official release, voted to remove mask mandates for spectators for outdoor spring state tournaments “if appropriate social distancing can be attained. Masks are encouraged for everyone not participating if social distancing is difficult. Masks remain required for spectators for any competitions conducted indoors.”
The board also reduced the timeline for quarantine after close contact with a positive case from 14 to six days, barring any symptoms, and stated “vaccinated student-athletes are not required to be quarantined for close contact if they are symptom free.”
