Tom Wolf Green-Lights Return to Sports in Pennsylvania
Published:
In a release on Wednesday, Gov. Tom Wolf said professional sports are allowed to practice or play in the “yellow” and “green” phases without on-site fans if they have a coronavirus safety plan.
The plan must be approved by the state Health Department and include testing or screening and monitoring of all players and personnel, the release said.
“No fans or spectators may be permitted on interior or exterior venue property,” the release says.
This would clear the Eagles to hold training camp, since Philadelphia county is going to be entering the yellow phase next weekend, along with the rest of southeastern Pennsylvania.
There will be no fans allowed, as KDKA mentions, but as of right now the fate of the 87 media members who cover the Eagles is yet to be determined.
Hooray!
