Union County releases football game-day guidelines

The Union County panthers have released their guidelines for the upcoming football season.

These guidleines are straight from Union County high school and are as follows:

• Tickets will be $7. All GHSA official passes and press passes will be allowed.
• There will be no restrictions on stadium seating.
• There will be designated seating areas for students and the band. This will be approximately half of the stadium which will reduce spectator seating capacity.
• Social distancing and mask wearing is encouraged. Signs will be posted and announcements will be made periodically throughout the contest to encourage safe health practices.
• We are working to keep both of our communities safe from the threat of COVID-19. Spectators are encouraged to self screen before arrival to the event. If you have a fever over 100.0 or have any symptoms we ask that you please stay home.
• Please help us protect our communities by following these safe health practices:

1. Stay at home if you are sick, have a fever, cough, or difficulty breathing.
2. Practice social distancing between family groups.
3. Wear a mask.
4. Cover your cough or sneeze.
5. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
6. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

Thank you for working with Union County Schools to ensure a successful football season.

• No fans will be allowed to enter the playing field before, after, or during the event. (The only exception is a parent escorting for homecoming or senior night)
• Under Georgia law, the Union County School District and all agents assume no liability for any injury or death attributed to COVID-19. You are assuming the risk for entering any and all events.
