Coronavirus: Top official says sports unlikely before Thanksgiving in Santa Clara County

SAN JOSE – Fans wanting to attend a 49ers game or any other sporting event in Santa Clara County could be wanting until late November, if not later.

That was the message Santa Clara County Executive Officer Jeff Smith delivered to the Board of Supervisors during a discussion Tuesday about when strict shelter-in-place orders might be relaxed.

“Sorry to say,” Smith told Supervisor Mike Wasserman, “I don’t expect that we’ll have any sports games until at least Thanksgiving, and we’ll be lucky to have them by Thanksgiving.”

“This is not going to be something that is easy to do,” Smith added.
