The Columbus Blue Jackets announced Tuesday they will continue to play home games as scheduled despite Ohio Governor Mike DeWine's recommendation that all sporting events in the state go on without spectators in response to the coronavirus outbreak, per ESPN.com:
"The Columbus Blue Jackets are aware of the recommendation by Governor DeWine. We have been in contact with the National Hockey League and, given the facts before us, it has been determined that our scheduled games, including this Thursday vs. Pittsburgh and Saturday vs. Nashville, will go on as scheduled and be open to ticketed fans that wish to attend.
