LSU Bringing Back Beer Sales, CDC Wellness Checks Are Out
LSU announced Monday that it will change its COVID protocols at Tiger Stadium. Such changes will include the return of beer sales and the elimination of CDC wellness checks, according to a school spokesperson.
The elimination of wellness checks will increase the speed of entry and alleviate bottlenecking. The school asks all fans to wear masks and that those who drink remain seated. LSU also notes that the SEC rule requiring beers to be poured into cups has been suspended.
According to the Advocate, the CDC wellness check conducted on fans before the Mississippi State game was a four-question assessment of coronavirus symptoms and potential risk.
LSU will host Missouri Saturday at 9 pm ET.
