The Cleveland Browns plan to welcome enthusiasts to FirstEnergy Stadium for Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles, even though Cuyahoga County officials issued a notice to stay in the house this week.
According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland. com, a Browns spokesman showed that the team plans to continue with up to 12,000 game enthusiasts as they “continue to monitor cases and remain flexible. “
On Wednesday, the Cuyahoga County Health Council announced that it would remain at home until December 17 due to a “dramatic increase” in COVID-19 cases throughout the county.
The announcement noted that the amenities of Cuyahoga County Hospital have recorded a coronavirus rate of 15% since November 13.
The Browns this season received 6,000 spectators in their first two home games and obtained permission from Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine to increase that total to 12,000 enthusiasts for the remainder of the season on October 5.
Cleveland (6-3) has two home games after Sunday, opposite the Baltimore Ravens on December 14 and the Pittsburgh Steelers on January 3.
