The SNHD said it recommends events with less than 1,000 attendees to move forward for possible approval by the appropriate state agency, with the caveat that these events could be postponed or canceled if conditions deteriorate.
But the district also said that it does not recommend approval for events with more than 1,000 attendees until three consecutive days of all parameters are found to be in the green and not trending toward surveillance capacity.
Large gathering plans are approved by the Division of Industrial Relations after review by the health district and other local jurisdictions, according to SNHD.
