(Radio Iowa/KJAN) – Governor Kim Reynolds, Wednesday, updated her public health emergency proclamation and is letting organized sports for kids and adults — including bowling leagues — resume, but spectators are limited to two per participant.

The governor’s current proclamation lasts through December 16th, but the governor told reporters she and her staff review data daily and changes to her executive actions could be made before or after that date. Atlantic Activities Director Andy Mitchell, Wednesday, told the Atlantic School Board, Middle School sports and youth sports will be starting back up for the district, beginning tomorrow (Friday).

Mitchell said with the Governor’s latest proclamation, additional categories of people may attend local sporting events, with the two-ticket rule in-place.

Mitchell said things have been running smoothly so-far as attendance at local sport events, as evidenced by the crowd at the wrestling meet held Tuesday.

He said he’s very happy and proud of the work that’s been put in that allows kids have an opportunity to have a season in no matter what the sports. That includes adjustments by coaches in how practices are handled.
