Michigan Mask Requirement Extending to Toddlers Takes EffectHannah Bleau 26 Apr 2021
Michigan extended its mask mandate to include toddlers, with the changes officially going into effect Monday.
Last week, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) announced it would expand its current mask mandate to include children ages 2-4 amid surging cases in the blue state. Children under the age of five were previously exempt.
Per the current order, a face mask is required for everyone two years and older, and even those who are exempt — whether for medical reasons or age — are “strongly encouraged” to wear a face covering.
“The change means that kids from 2-4 are now subject to the masking requirement just like everyone else,” MDHHS Public Information Officer Bob Wheaton wrote in a statement.
“So if an 18 year old would be required to mask because they were in a gathering at a park, so would a 2-4 year old,” he explained.
