WYOMING — The Wyoming High School Activities Association (WHSAA) announced on Monday that a mask mandate for winter activities and sports across the state will be implemented.

The WHSAA board voted on the mask mandate, approving it unanimously during the board’s monthly meeting on November 10.

The mask mandate for winter activities and sports will follow after a successfully completed fall sports season where school districts determined appropriate guidelines for players, coaches and spectators.
