Washington Gov. Jay Inslee will reportedly announce a ban on public gatherings of more than 250 people in the Seattle metropolitan area Wednesday amid the outbreak of coronavirus in the state.

According to the Seattle Times (h/t ESPN), the ban will include sporting events and concerts and could have a major impact on the XFL's Seattle Dragons, MLS' Seattle Sounders and MLB's Seattle Mariners.

The Dragons are set to host the L.A. Wildcats at CenturyLink Field on Sunday, the Sounders will next play at home March 21 when they face the FC Dallas and the Mariners regular-season home opener is scheduled for March 26 against the Texas Rangers at T-Mobile Park.
