AAHA UPDATED GUIDANCE ON PENNSYLVANIA OCCUPANCY RESTRICTIONS –
On November 23, 2020 the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (PA) revised its Requirements for Events and Gatherings2, through its Department of Health (DOH) and provides for the following calculator for allowable indoor occupancy.
Maximum Occupancy Calculator for indoor events:
Maximum Occupancy |
Allowable Indoor Rate |
0-2,000 people |
10% of Maximum Occupancy |
2,001 - 10,000 people |
5% of Maximum Occupancy |
Over 10,000 people |
No events over 500 people |
For the purposes of the AAHA, this update reduces the indoor capacity from its previous levels. The AAHA will continue to authorize One (1) Parent/Guarding (spectator) per player during games, however, no spectators shall be permitted if the spectator(s) causes the ice rink to exceed these limitations for their particular venue. For example; if an ice rink’s normal capacity is 500 people, then at 10%, only fifty (50) individuals could lawfully be inside the rink, which effectively limits that rink to players, coaches and game officials.
We strongly encourage rinks and clubs to work cooperatively to manage these capacity requirements so as to remain in compliance with current COVID mitigation requirements issued by PA’s DOH.
