The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended new guidelines for large events and mass gatherings (50 or more people), suggesting they not be held for at least the next eight weeks in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
The CDC defined “large events” and “mass gatherings” as conferences, festivals, parades, concerts, sporting events and weddings, among other types of assemblies. Their recommendation is not intended to supersede the advice of local public health officials.
The California Department of Public Health previously suggested public gathering of 250 or more people be cancelled across the state at least through March.
