Whitmer said that while sports may return with empty stadiums, a vaccine is needed before live sports can be filled with fans.
, the governor's press secretary, Tiffany Brown, said that stadium reopenings will depend on data and medical experts."Medical experts have made it clear that COVID-19 spreads when people are in close contact with one another, and without a vaccine, our best strategy in combating the virus is to practice social distancing. In regards to stadiums, our administration will continue to make informed decisions on re-engagement based upon data and medical expertise," she said.
Despite the delay in fans filling up stadiums, Whitmer spoke about measures that leagues are taking to bring back sports in empty stadiums, like Major League Baseball. "It doesn't mean that sports is over. Sports is not over. Major League Baseball is pursuing a shorter season. They're doing it in stadiums where people can watch the games on television, not in person. That may have to be how we operate for a while," she said in the Friday update."I think all of the organizers of these leagues understand how important it is that we act responsibly here.
