Spectator gauges based on three zones

The government has set standards for spectator gauges. The current limitations are as follows:

• In the green zone: limit to 5,000 people and possibility for the prefect to waive the increase
• In the alert zone (red): limit to 5,000 people except restriction decided by the prefect
• In heightened alert zone and in maximum alert zone (scarlet): tonnage limited to 1000 people maximum, except restriction decided by the prefect

The gauge only applies to the count of spectators and excludes athletes, accredited persons and organizational personnel.
