ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) The New York State Department of Health is reviewing a plan for some Bills fans to be in the stands for a home playoff game.
During his Wednesday COVID briefing, Governor Cuomo said the team put forward a plan that would allow 6,700 fans to attend, and then the DOH could test those fans prior to the game, and contact trace them after the game. A negative test would be required to be allowed in and team staff will control all exit and entry points to the stadium.
Masks would be required at all times in the stadium and social distancing protocols would be in place.
If that model, which Cuomo and state Department of Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker says has never been tested before, works, could it be applied to other venues?
State Budget Director Robert Mujica said the state is reviewing a proposal by the Bills involving 6,700 fans. The plan allows for the Bills to control stadium entry and exit by fans, who would have to provide proof of a negative COVID test.
The team has committed to social distancing and mask mandate enforcement. Fans who won t comply with the latter will be ejected from the stadium. Sections of the stadium will be closed for social distancing and ushers will enforce that. Tailgating would remain banned.
