MADISON, Wis. – Nearly 1,500 filled Breese Stevens Stadium in Madison for Forward Madison’s home opener against North Carolina FC.
For the fans in attendance, Saturday evening’s game was a win – even before the game was played.
“We’re just really happy to be able to be back, and this is awesome,” said supporter Kieth Poniewaz. “It feels like a family reunion where you like all of your family members.”
COVID-19 restrictions in Dane County led to the club playing home matches in Wauwatosa for the 2020 season. While the club makes its return home for the 2021 season, not everything is back to the 2019 standards.
Wisconsin residents who are fully vaccinated can ditch the face masks and return to activities they did before the COVID-19 pandemic, the stateâs health department said Friday.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services said it supported the new guidance issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday that fully vaccinated people can largely resume pre-pandemic lives, including not wearing face masks indoors in most instances.
DHS Secretary-designee Karen Timberlake said the new guidance for people who are fully vaccinated, considered to occur two weeks after completing a vaccination series, is âan exciting step forward.â
âThe science is clear: if you are fully vaccinated, you are protected, and you can start doing the things that you stopped doing because of the pandemic,â Timberlake said in a statement.
