Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds updated her Public Health Disaster proclamation. It continues to require masks be worn by people inside a public space, unable to social distance for 15 minutes or longer.
Iowans also cannot gather at indoor social, community, business or leisure gatherings with more than 15 people or 30 people outside.
The proclamation is now updated to allow two spectators for each high school athlete, performer, competitor or staff member participating in the gathering and now includes cheerleaders and band members.
Other youth and adult sporting events are now allowed to resume as well.
The updated measures take effect Dec. 10 and will continue through Dec. 16.
The rest of the proclamation is extended through Jan. 8, 2021.
