Operative words
Several weeks ago, I clarified that the Phase Two limitation on gatherings of 50 people, in circumstances that do not readily allow for appropriate physical distancing, did not apply to schools or school-related activities. Given the ongoing confusion and the potential for inconsistent application of rules for youth events, I am extending that clarification to apply to youth activities whether school or community sponsored. Organizers of such activities should continue to work with local public health on developing appropriate safety plans in line with local and state public health directives.
Enforcement
Interpretive; confirms the 50-person limitation as an operative rule for all other events
Notes
The letter confirms that the Phase Two 50-person limitation was being applied as a rule to gatherings generally
