FRANKFORT, Ky. (FOX19) - New guidance from the Kentucky Department of Public Health on Monday increases capacity limits at stadiums and arenas in Kentucky to 50 percent.
Only facilities with total capacities over 1,000 are affected by the new guidance, which Gov. Andy Beshear announced, along with supplemental documents for various industries, on Monday.
“They have done a very good job at ensuring everyone remains masked,” Beshear said of how large venues have performed so far in the pandemic. “We have seen very little spread through them. In fact, we have seen some of the best mask adherence at them, so they’ll go to 50 percent.”
