AFAIK this is pretty much state and private location dependent but that doesn't surprise me. Jericho cruises needs proof 2 weeks ahead as well. We are indeed in a fourth wave people...I suggest to people going to these events to still mask up

 

[Chris]

Not surprised, thought it was already announced before I saw more headlines about it today tbh

Good, although I'm always surprised to see so many unmasked fans in the crowd. This isn't over yet, we should still be careful, especially in big events like wrestling shows.
