They can't. Hard to believe they will allow thousands of people in a crowded arena.My understanding is that this is the protocol they intend to use for skaters, coaches, judges, media etc. I don't think they've said whether or how they will screen the general public.

Canada is allowing large groups to congregate at airports everyday. I'm more worried about that.
I just want a decision. My mother and I have sunk over 5k into this trip, if it's cancelled by tomorrow we can at least get our money back for out flight and hotel.
CDC recommendation contradicts itself: if masks are useless, why medical personnels wear them? They didn't say medical personnels masks are different/more protective (even though they may be). Or they mean it is necessary to wear mask in close setting with potential sick person?
Japanese have been wearing masks on a regular basis. Does the CDC recommendation implies that 1) Japanese are so silly, because masks don't protect them from anything or 2) all the people wearing a mask in the audience are actually sick showing symptoms? 3) masks protect Asians not American
In November I went to Zurich to see Sergei Polunin dance. There was NOT ONE POSTER outside the venue or in the neighborhood where it occurred. Yet it was sold out! Not one seat available.
But I am surprised that Montreal is not featuring Worlds. Especially with the premier ice dancing coaches in residence!
I am confused...isnt the event a sell out? Why would you spend dollars advertising an event that is sold out?
The CDC is dumbing down things as the American public has issues understanding the simplest things and dont have a sense of community. Proper masks work. But there isnt enough to go around so they dont want healthy people using them till supply catches up. I asked some of our Japanese friends about the surgical masks we see them wear at events and they said they were used by people who werent feeling well and wanted to protect others, which will work. In the words of ABC news, the best mask is the surgical mask worn by an infected person.
There is a huge question that was never answered in my professional training. I had to wear an N100 mask when entering remote communication sites as there could be Hantavirus, which has a 40 percent mortality rate. (It is hard to get) But those virusus are attached to dusty mouse poop. What happens when a droplet from an infected lung sticks to a mask and then the droplet dries, leaving the very small virus on the surface of the mask?
It is mearly to warn people that they dont show up sick, no matter how much they feel they are more important than the rest of the world. I am sure you know know that people catch the virus and shed for 5.1 days on average, and maybe as many as 11 days, before becoming sick....The temp thing and screening for resp illness is a joke. (I am a nurse and have a bit of experience with this.) .
I could ask my brother who is a doctor. But my understanding is the virus doesn’t thrive on soft surfaces. It likes hard surfaces.

Why to cancel?
Move it to Moscow. I'm pretty sure Russia will never cancel WC with so many medal hungry stars...
