Loyola students will no longer be allowed to attend the remaining Loyola athletics events of the semester, according to a press release sent by Loyola Athletics Wednesday night.
Attendance will be restricted “essential game personnel, student-athlete family members and television crews,” according to the press release. The release said these measures are being made as a precaution to the COVID-19 — the respiratory disease caused by coronavirus.
“Safety is of utmost importance and this decision, while unfortunate for our fans and student-athletes, is in everyone’s best interests,” Loyola Athletics Director Steve Watson said in the release.
