CDC Dir. Walensky: ‘Heavily Breathing’ Kids ‘on a Soccer Field’ Should Be Wearing Masks

‘We’ve seen a lot of outbreaks associated with youth sports’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

WALENSKY: "So, you know, I think not all outside is the same. So, outside playing tennis, outside swimming, all of those things where you're far apart from one another. If you have a group of 10-year-olds crowded trying to get over a soccer ball and they're all breathing heavily, I think you need to wear a mask, because, yes, there's decreased infection risk outside, but if you're all breathing heavily on top of a singular soccer ball, that has the potential. And we've seen a lot of outbreaks associated with youth sports."
