FAYETTEVILLE — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Sunday extended the time frame that it recommends sporting events be closed to the public.
The latest guideline from the CDC recommends that large mass gatherings, which it defines as more than 50 people, be canceled or postponed for at least eight weeks to slow the spread of coronavirus. Exemptions would be made for schools and businesses.
If sporting leagues act in accordance with the CDC recommendation, it would bar fans from attending - and potentially keep suspended - sporting events well into the month of May.
