| New York governor Andrew Cuomo has announced the state will allow large venues to reopen from February 23 at reduced capacity with safety measures in place.
A testing pilot with the football team Buffalo Bills last month, which allowed 6,700 fans into 70,000 seater stadium, was declared an “unparalleled success” by Cuomo. Attendees were required to produce a negative COVID-19 test 72 hours before kickoff and were allowed to sit in spaced out groups of two and four, with contract tracing afterwards.
Now this same testing program is set to be extended to all large stadiums and arenas in under two weeks time. This accounts for any stadium or arena with a capacity of more than 10,000 people, and they will be allowed to open at 10% capacity to host events such music shows, performances and sports.
Fans providing a negative PCR test 72 hours in advance is again a requirement, and other mitigating measures such as mask-wearing, temperature checks and mandatory, assigned, socially distanced seating will also be in place.
Venues wanting to reopen under the guidelines must submit plans to the State Department of Health to be approved. |
