MAJOR CLARIFICATION: @GovernorVA COVID-19 new restrictions DO NOT apply to schools or churches, or limit, in any way, capacity at private offices, gyms, businesses, restaurants, etc. The gathering change (250 to 25) is to prevent groups from forming over the holidays. @NBC12
Gathering ban DOES NOT apply to sports per @GovernorVA. For recreational, youth, and high-school sports, spectators are limited to 25 spectators per field or 30 percent of venue’s occupancy load, whichever is fewer (this does not include participants). @NBC12
MORE: College athletics are considered sports venues under "entertainment and public amusement" guidelines, and are limited to 250 persons or 30 percent of the venue's occupancy load, whichever is fewer. @NBC12
