RI Tightens Social Distancing Rules
At the end of October, Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo has issued an additional round of restrictions regarding social distancing at sporting events.  The state is focusing on informal social gatherings and youth sporting activities.  The limit of people gathering at social events has been lowered to 10 people, down from 15.

The first two weeks in November will mandate that fans are banned from local youth sports games.  The Governor is attempting to let some sporting events continue if the crowds are down.  It is unclear if this affects groups such as Fall ball teams because exceptions are made for “very young kids.”

Also many indoor sporting venues like hockey rinks will be closed pending the development of new Covid 19 rules and restrictions there.  The state is developing a plan that may allow Winter sports to occur.  Other school and youth sports activities will be updated at ReporterToday.com as the Governor continues to adjust and shut down sporting activities.
