(Des Moines) Today, Gov. Reynolds signed a new Public Health Disaster proclamation that modifies existing public health measures designed to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
The proclamation continues to require that when people are in an indoor public space, and unable to social distance for 15 minutes or longer, masks are required to be worn.
Spectator limits for sporting and recreational gatherings, including for high school-sponsored events, will be lifted Friday, January 8th, 2021. According to the proclamation, the gathering organizer and all spectators must ensure at least six-feet of physical distance between each group of spectators. Although athletes or student participants are not required to wear face coverings while participating in a gathering, all other participants over the age of two, shall wear a mask or face coverings at all gatherings.
