TRENTON - New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy on Friday signed an executive order that immediately allows a limited number of parents and guardians to attend high school and youth sporting events.
Murphy, who has been in isolation since Wednesday after possible exposure to COVID-19, said schools and leagues can choose when to welcome limited spectators.
The edict applies to both indoor and outdoor sports competitions.Athletes 21-years-old and younger can have up to two parents or guardians in attendance, provided it doesn't exceed the 35% indoor capacity limit.
All spectators must follow the state's rules on mask-wearing and social distancing. If a COVID-19 infection arises from an event, all spectators must cooperate with New Jersey's contact.
