The global health crisis continues to do damage.
Nine weeks out from the Boston Pro Show it appears that the event has been postponed. The reason behind the delay? The global health crisis that just won’t quit.
The official Instagram page for the Boston Pro confirmed that the show would be postponed to 2021. Cases of the virus have begun to rise once again causes concern. At this point, with the virus still spreading, the show runners thought it best to be cautious.
Antoine Vaillant was just recently prepping for the show when the promoters announced the postponement late yesterday.
Below is the official statement given by the organizers of the Boston Pro.
In the wake of concerning signs that COVID-19 cases were beginning to creep back up in Massachusetts, Gov. Charlie Baker announced a series of moves Friday aimed at “stopping the spread.”
For indoor gatherings, the maximum remains unchanged at 25 people in a single enclosed area.
Baker’s order does however reduce the limit on outdoor gatherings from a maximum of 100 people to 50 people in a single space. For smaller spaces, a limit of 25 percent of the area’s legal maximum occupancy — or eight people per 1,000 square feet where no occupancy is recorded — may also apply
As a result we have made a decision to postpone the IFBB Boston Pro.
