Spectators will be allowed at school sporting events this fall.
This comes after Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration revised the COVID-19 sports guidelines. This update was made on the governor’s website.
Although spectators will be allowed, they will “count towards the statewide large gathering limitations (25 or fewer people indoors, 250 or fewer outdoors) and must follow the Universal Face Covering Order and social distancing guidance when arriving, attending, and departing the event,” per the guidelines.
The guidelines also say that facilities “may not exceed 50% of total occupancy otherwise permitted by law.”
According to the guidelines, everyone attending the sporting event, including coaches, officials, athletes, staff and spectators must wear face coverings “unless they are outdoors and can consistently maintain social distancing of at least 6 feet.”
