Arnold Sports Festival Limiting Public Access Amid Coronavirus Concerns

arnoldsportsfestival.com

Organizers of the annual Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus say only athletes and their close family members will be allowed to attend most of the event because of the coronavirus. 

The trade show will not be held and spectators will not be permitted at the four-day festival except for Saturday night's finals. A change.org petition is asking for the entire event to be canceled, citing health concerns.  More than  seven thousand people have signed the petition so far.
