I’m just throwing this out there.
In reading Gov. Eric Holcomb’s executive order pertaining to masks, which goes into effect Monday, July 27, it has a list of exemptions from wearing a mask. In those exemptions, it mentions sports.
This is an exemption for exercising and/or engaging in sports.
“Any person while exercising or engaging in a sports activity and who can maintain six feet of social distancing from another person not in the same household”
I’m far from being a scholar, let alone a legal scholar, but reading this as a layman, and I don’t mean to belittle laymen, I would think those playing football, basketball and wrestling, to name three off the top of my head, would not fit this exemption. And I cannot think that anyone playing those sports would be able to breathe properly wearing a mask, especially football in the hot August/September temperatures.
Do others have any idea on this?
