GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers will limit attendance at Lambeau Field games to team employees and their families for the remainder of the regular season.

The team said the decision is based on a continued high rate of coronavirus activity in Brown County and many areas of the state. The team is also concerned rates may spike with the holiday season approaching.

“As always, the health and safety of our community, players and fans is our top priority,” Packers President/CEO Mark Murphy said in a news release. “We appreciate the continued guidance from Bellin Health and the Brown County Public Health Department for advising us and, importantly, for the work they are doing to battle COVID.”

The Packers allowed a limited group of about 500 employees and their families during their last two home games on Nov. 29 and last Sunday, WLUK-TV reported.

The Packers have two regular season home games remaining. They include matchups on Dec. 19 and 27 against the Carolina Panthers and Tennessee Titans respectively.

The team says an approach to any potential home playoff games will be decided at a later date.
