MSHSAA announced it will limit the number of fans who will be able to attend the Class 4 and 5 basketball quarterfinal games on Saturday.

The move comes after a second confirmed case of coronavirus was found in the state. The first "presumptive positive" case of coronavirus was found in the Ozarks, Gov. Mike Parson announced on Thursday evening while state basketball games were played in front of a limited number of fans at JQH Arena.

"With another confirmed case of COVID-19 in the state and concern for the safety of all who will be working and attending the quarterfinal games on Saturday for Classes 4 and 5, the Missouri High School Activities Association will be making adjustments to access allowed at the various sites," MSHSAA announced Thursday night.
