<p>The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) updated its directives on gathering and events on Sunday, further limiting the recommended size of assemblies of multiple people to just 50 people and setting a time period for such limits to the next 8 weeks in an attempt to slow the spread of COVID-19.</p>
<p>The recommendation, the CDC notes, does not apply to day-to-day operations of organizations such as schools or businesses. Gatherings involving higher-risk individuals, the elderly and people with pre-existing heart and lung conditions, should be canceled, officials recommend.</p>
<p>&#8220;Large events and mass gatherings can contribute to the spread of COVID-19 in the United States via travelers who attend these events and introduce the virus to new communities. Examples of large events and mass gatherings include conferences, festivals, parades, concerts, sporting events, weddings, and other types of assemblies. These events can be planned not only by organizations and communities but also by individuals,&#8221; the updated <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/large-events/mass-gatherings-ready-for-covid-19.html">advisory</a> reads.</p>
<p>&#8220;Therefore, CDC, in accordance with its guidance for large events and mass gatherings, recommends that for the next 8 weeks, organizers (whether groups or individuals) cancel or postpone in-person events that consist of 50 people or more throughout the United States,&#8221; the CDC announced Sunday.</p>
<p>&#8220;Events of any size should only be continued if they can be carried out with adherence to guidelines for protecting vulnerable populations, hand hygiene, and social distancing,&#8221; the advisory states. &#8220;When feasible, organizers could modify events to be virtual.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This recommendation does not apply to the day to day operation of organizations such as schools, institutes of higher learning, or businesses,&#8221; the notice explains. &#8220;This recommendation is made in an attempt to reduce introduction of the virus into new communities and to slow the spread of infection in communities already affected by the virus.  This recommendation is not intended to supersede the advice of local public health officials.&#8221;</p>
<p>Below are excerpts from the CDC&#8217;s updated <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/large-events/mass-gatherings-ready-for-covid-19.html">advisory on mass gatherings and public events</a> with hyperlinks to additional CDC notices and documents:</p>

<p><em>This interim guidance is intended for organizers and staff responsible for planning mass gatherings or large community events in the United States. <strong>A mass gathering is a planned or spontaneous event with a large number of people in attendance that could strain the planning and response resources of the community hosting the event, such as a concert, festival, conference, or sporting event.</strong> Guidance specific to schools and childcare settings, institutions of higher education, and community- and faith-based organizations can be found on <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/index.html">CDC’s website focused on prevention COVID-19 spread in communities</a>.
