The status of future San Jose Sharks home games at SAP Center is in question after Santa Clara County implemented a mandatory ban of gatherings at events with more than 1,000 people because of concerns about the coronavirus outbreak.
Maggie Angst of the Mercury News reported the news, noting Santa Clara County Counsel James Williams announced the ban during a Monday press conference after the first coronavirus-related death in the county.
The ban will go in place at midnight on Wednesday and last for three weeks, with sheriffs and police enforcing the restrictions.
